Wouldn't requiring a permit to own a gun be an "infringement?"

Handguns, as well as other legal firearms such as rifles and shotguns, also must be kept unloaded and disassembled, or equipped with trigger locks — unless there is a "reasonably perceived threat of immediate harm" in the home.[/b]
Isn't that a direct violation of the Heller ruling??

Quote:
The Court of Appeals had struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional, and determined that handguns are "Arms" that may not be banned by the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.), also striking down the portion of the law that requires all firearms including rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock."[/b]

I hear they are also going to get a new permit on the books so folks in D.C. can get Fox News Network on their cable TV. Next thing you know they will allow Evangelical Churches(if they have a permit). What's the world coming too?
