You could make a rather shaky argument for it violating my freedom of speech and freedom of the press. But that entirely depends on the criteria of registration.
Im still not sure how registering your firearm violates your right to bear arms though?
Ask the people of Louisiana who had their guns confiscated by officers who knew who had them due to registration lists after hurricane Katrina. just one example.

I dont understand how registering your firearm infringes upon your right to bear arms?
Is there any sneaky clauses in the registration process that could prevent you bearing arms?

Not really, honestly. Now if they wanted track my every keystroke that would be an infringement in my opinion. Just registering something doesn't infringe on the right to own that object.
Though, I do see the logic in some folks who say gun registration makes it easier for them to take the guns away when the Obama/NWO/Illuminati/Mason boot comes down hard.
Though... if they really did want to take guns away, why bother with registration in the first place? Just say "Okay, no more gun sales."

The NSA and it's monitoring programs aside, I don't like the idea of alphabet agencies watching what I do. I never said I'd be in favor of computer registration, but I don't see the immediate infringement. As I expanded on in my previous post, registration could eventually lead to taking these things away, so I don't really support registration computer, nor guns.
i am pretty sure that would depend on their conduct. especially with all the cameras there. if they were showing their asses and violent or gave signs of a propensity for rioting they would be arrested like anyone else showing their asses should be.

Funnily enough, I was wondering if a 1000 black gun-owners would be allowed to conduct the same protest peacefully??
...or would there be a powerful police presence and arrests for 'violating' the I-594- A Gun Control Law?
I guess we'll never know.
People were made to register their "assault weapons" with the promise that the registry would never be used for confiscation. Then, a few years later, said "assault weapons" were banned and guess what? All those foolish enough to register them had to turn them in or remove them from the state

I bet there is a few thousand people on their "list" now.
If they are unregistered gun owners, the PTB know about them now. Watch for the round up to start in a short while.

Because asking permission from the state (which is what registration is, what if your registration is denied?) to exercise a civil right is an infringement on that right.
Because, registration precedes confiscation and one should never trust a politician when they "promise" that they would not use registration to infringe or confiscate. California is a great example. People were made to register their "assault weapons" with the promise that the registry would never be used for confiscation. Then, a few years later, said "assault weapons" were banned and guess what? All those foolish enough to register them had to turn them in or remove them from the state.
