Two points:
1) The "notifying an officer" argument is bogus. Criminals act outside the law and will not so notify, regardless. Eliminating this bow-and-scrape would create no additional danger whatsoever.
2) Imposing a training requirement and/or fee equates to a literacy test/poll tax to vote, both of which have been unequivocally declared unconstitutional.
Both of these arguments are based upon a test of rights v. public safety.
"The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people . . . [T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

TO REMEMBER |
| Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |
