Regarding the latest articles in The News-Times on gun sales in Connecticut, I would like to offer a solution — a solution which will slow down the process and create jobs and provide additional funds for the police departments. The process is similar to buying a car.
In order for a first-time buyer to purchase a hand gun or rifle there would be either a $500 to $1,000 fee or a 60-to-90-day waiting period.
Whether it’s a big box retailer or independent gun dealer, an application would need to be filled out on who the owner of the gun would be. A minimum of two, and possibly three, forms of identification would have to be provided. The fee and application would go directly the Police Department. The fee would pay for police personal trained on new gun sales. A complete background, and if warranted, even a credit check would be mandatory.

As soon as they apply the same process to EBT cards and voting. Maybe then.
I like it!
“As soon as they apply the same process to EBT cards and voting. Maybe then.”
Liberals forget there was once a similar process for voting. It was called registration and included a poll tax.
Driving a car is a privilege.
Bearing arms on the other hand is a right.
One can place reasonable restrictions on a right but one may not ban people from exercising it.
Liberal hoplophobes get irrationally scared by guns.
Hey, there are a lot things that can kill people.
These morons advocating for the infringement of our rights need to be tried for violating our rights and then thrown in jail.
Or the “being necessary to the security of a free state” thing.
They can wish in one hand and **** in the other and see which one gets fullest first.
“These morons advocating for the infringement of our rights need to be tried for violating our rights and then thrown in jail”
TRUE DAT!
I would think if someone or the head of some agency is found guilty of violating someone’s God given Constitutional rights it should be a felony.
Fwiw. That process is NOT similar to buying a car. Last car I bought, I walked into the dealership after breakfast, took a test drive, did all the paperwork, and drove off the lot in a new car well before lunch. 60-90 days, my foot.
These are the same liberals that are going to wish there are more privately held firearms when the Islamists they are seeding around the country start getting uppity and running amok.
And make sure the poor are screwed again.
Starting next month in Maine, we don’t need a permit to conceal carry on our person or in our vehicles.....Constitutional Carry.
We already have Open Carry.
“Driving a car is a privilege.”
If the founders could have known about travel using cars, trucks, etc, would be the normal mode of transportation in this day and age, I wonder if they would’ve made travel by such a right. They didn’t include travel by horseback or buggy as a right, but perhaps they never would’ve thought such could ever be threatened, just too crazy a concept; if you own a horse, you can use it for travel. I also wonder if they could’ve forseen road being paid for with tax dollars, if that would’ve added into their thinking one way or another. Seems the ‘privilege’ concept may have simply evolved as a form of bringing in revenue.
They should justify any requirement for buying a gun to the same requirement for buying an abortion. Then try to defend it being a legitimate step in the process. If they can do that we can talk the 2nd amendment and other differences. But if they can’t apply it to abortion there’s no need to have a discussion because they aren’t serious
I tried to comment at the site. The comment registration process wants your home address. I couldn’t complete the process.
The Democrats’ Syrian crisis is one of the best arguments I can see right now for being against gun control. If the government takes our guns, where are we going to go? I don’t know why the dummies can’t see it. It’s on TV playing out before their eyes. All they have to do is open them.
Why not regulate that as well?
Well, if you have been following the antics going on a lot of college campuses, it has started.
They have wet dreams about it. It makes them feel good. They fantasize that it will solve all of their perceived ills of the country. It will never happen but they persist because they have no real ideas.
They need to move to another country that has already outlawed guns and see how that works out for them. Otherwise, they need to leave our 2nd Amendment rights alone and not infringe upon them like the law and Constitution of this country spell out.
I am honesty shocked that they have not outlawed bullets, buckshot etc...
There’s a city (Seattle?) That passed a tax on ammo, 5¢ per round. Has that been challenged yet?
