Have there since been any restrictions placed on mans constitutional right to bear arms what are they?

There are approximately 20,000 Federal and State firearm laws already on the books. These DO restrict the right to have and to carry firearms. Example- go to a gun shop to buy a gun. You must have at least two forms of ID to prove you are a resident of that state. You must pass a computer background check, and in some states, you will need to wait 5 days before you can pick up the gun. In other states, you must be fingerprinted, pass a background check, and pay a hefty fee to get a "Firearms Owner's ID Card" before you can look at a gun in a gun shop.
