Why does that seem to bother you so much? That someone doesn’t want the govt or others to have easy access?
I’ll say it again, it is very strange how much you and other staff here are pushing back on this. Especially when as you claim, it does nothing.
Side question, were you the guy who was wanting people to have mandated training before being issued a GFL? Maybe it was someone else and I’m misremembering.
You’ve got that exactly BACKWARDS. I am as against government-mandated training for weapons-carry licenses as it’s possible to be.
I am against weapons-carry licenses, PERIOD. Every American and legal resident of America has the given right to carry a firearm as they see fit. There should be absolutely no government strings attached to that right. You shouldn’t need the government‘s permission to carry, and absolutely should not have to pay money, get fingerprinted and check, and get issued a card to exercise that right.
I believe that firearms should be sold over the counter and the internet with as much restrictions and paperwork as buying a pair of socks. That goes for select-fire, short barrels, suppressors, etc., as well.
I don’t believe that the government has the right to tell a convicted felon that they can’t own a firearm. I believe that “shall not be infringed” is a definitive statement, and restricting that right from certain Americans is an infringement.
