  • No. In my state you cannot unless you pay for the classes , fingerprinting and background checks , etc..

    Do not get me wrong I am for classes , and background checks.

    I don't believe those should cost the prospective owner though.

    Now if there was no cost and those were required, I wouldn't say a word. I hope my point is a bit clearer

  • Miller v. US, 230 F2d 489 “The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.”

    Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham 394 U.S. 147 (1969). “Persons faced with an unconstitutional licensing law which purports to require a license as a prerequisite to exercise of right… may ignore the law and engage with impunity in exercise of such right.”

    US Supreme Court in Hurtado v. California 110 US 516: “The state cannot diminish the rights of the people.”

    Sherar v. Cullen, 481 F2d 946(1973) “… there can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of his exercise of constitutional rights”

    Also in Murdock: “a person cannot be compelled “to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution.”"

  • in your state. Where I am there are requirements for everything. from buying ammo to getting separate licenses for long guns and pistols.

    the weapon itself is not what I'm talking about. of course that's taxable.

  • here's the issue.

    There's been a tax on the second amendment for decades. Having to pay the fees for licensing, and the classes, means there's a cost to exercise the right. Since people with no knowledge about the subject made sure to make it as expensive as possible to enjoy a right, the psychopaths in office now have precedent.

    one cannot tax one right and hand wave another. So . which do you think will fall first?

  • I don't get how people don't understand the role the media should play.

    It should simply shine light on the truth and report the facts.

    Instead they play politics, and abdicate that duty in favor of shock and schlock pieces.

    If the media simply reported on Trump's policy discussions factually, everyone would have seen this coming, to add to your point.
