Its not a gun permit. It is a permit to be able to purchase firearms and ammunition, something that a U.S. citizen should not have to have a permit for anyway.

We make people that need medication go see a doctor first... maybe it wouldn't be such a horrible idea to make someone who wants a gun to go through some sort of process as well.

This "story" is a real non-issue. Typical pot stirring from our "unbiased" media.

Then again, maybe it is about the most Un-Constitutional, Un-American idea that I have ever heard. Every citizen has a right to purchase a gun in this country if they haven't been convicted of a felony. All new gun purchases have a criminal records check completed over computer. That is all we need, and is definately all that should be legal.

:thumb: :thumb: I am glad you stated this. I was going to post along the same lines but I read yours and you said it very well. This country does not need any more gun laws, what we need is for the laws already on the books to be enforced. :thumb:

It's easy to just wave the pom-poms for gun rights. I understand, I certainly have nothing agaisnt gun ownership. But there are legitimate concerns.

 

Like I said, we make people go to the doctor to get medication that they need to survive. I place a premium on our constitutional right to gun ownership, but not more than I place on the availability of medicene people need to live.

Yeah! :ylsuper:

The fact that people misuse something to such an extent shouldn't infringe on the rights of those who are law abiding citizens. We can't safeguard against everything, BF.

So by that logic, just because some people OD on a drug, doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a screening process where professionals evaluate who should be given certain medications?

It's easy to wave the pom-poms for a whole slew of things, but let's be sure of what exactly it is we're blaming and who we're criticizing.

Clarify please because you're comparing apples to oranges with drugs and guns.
