At some point, it could be preferable to have a shorter list of absolute standards and some discretion than a ridiculously long list of standards.
Who exercises the discretion? Is there an appeal process, and if so, who makes the judgement calls? How do we know the people who exercise discretion won't use it to discriminate against (fill in the blank)?

Personally, I'd much rather see weird people walking around armed than bureaucrats authorized to deny us commoners the right to keep and bear arms.
