what other constitutional rights are there that require a permit to be allowed?
you get a permit or a license for a privilage
you just get to exercise your rights.
when did gun ownership go from a right to a privilage?
Individual states still regulate with regard to gun ownership. It is a constitutional amendment but not one that the Supreme Court has applied to all states.
Our illustrious leaders (MD House and Senate) were the ones that came up with the permit idea. That's why there is such contention each time the subject comes up about possessing firearms in Maryland because those who giveth can also taketh away.
