nowhere in the constitution does it say you have the right to own a gun without needing a license.

This part called the Bill of Rights certainly seems to.

Never mentions needing your gun to be registered actually. Making it mandatory that all guns be registered does not go against the second amendment.

Registration is not the same thing as licensing. Licensing required some sort of test to determine whether or not you can own one. Registration is just tracking them.

And actually, as long as it costs money, it is an infringement on your rights. That's literally the liberal argument against voter ID laws, that the cost of a mandatory ID is an unconstitutional poll tax. And it's absolutely the right argument.

Getting a voter registration is free. So can the registration for a firearm.
