The amendment states that the right to keep and bare arms shall not b infringed because a well regulated militia is necessary. Of course, this was in a time before we had a standing army and our founders saw the creation of such as a threat to our liberty. But, if we are to consider the armed citizenry a militia, as the amendment does appear to, then that means it can be regulated.

Furthermore in Murdock v Pennsylvania the SCOTUS says that the states can not take a right and make it a privilege by forcing a person to pay for a permit.
Not making someone pay for a permit, but it does not say that they cannot require a permit to own one. Much like voter ID laws. Requiring an ID is fine, so long as it is one that can be acquired free of charge. And did I miss any one here saying there should be a required permit to own one?
