As we await the SCOTUS decision on the Heller case, I thought I would posit a question for all of you.
As you know, marriage licenses are honored as sacrosanct from state to state. A marriage license issued in Illinois is honored in every state of the Union - no questions asked. However, a firearms license issued in Utah is not honored in every state in the Union. Only 32 states will honor a legally issued firearms license issued by the state of Utah. This in spite of the 2nd Amendment that guarantees the right so the citizens in this country to keep and bear arms.
So I ask you, dear readers, why do you suppose this is? Why is a license for an activty that is not even mentioned in the Constitution given higher value than a Constitutionally guaranteed right?
