WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — An Amish resident of central Pennsylvania is challenging the photo identification requirement to purchase a firearm, saying his religious beliefs prevent him from being photographed.
Andrew Hertzler argues in a suit filed Friday in U.S. Middle District Court that the requirement violates his religious freedom and his constitutional right to possess a firearm.
Hertzler said his beliefs as a member of an Amish community in Lancaster County bar photographs being taken of him, but he was prohibited from buying a gun in June for self-defense purposes.

Bear is good eating, when is the bear hunting season in PA?
The government shouldn’t allow him to use a flintlock assault rifle.An assault hammer would be ok though.
That’s the cost of not having. An I.D.
You asked me a question. I answered it. If you don’t understand or don’t like my answer, it’s probably time for us both to move along.
Your answer didn’t make sense.
Ground Hogs are not porcine.
AKA: Gophers and Woodchucks
Black Bear. lol They are cuddly, fun loving gentle bears, right?
A colleague of mine is in the US for a stint from France. She recently took some vacation time to see the Smokey Mountains. Apparently she and some friends were hiking and came upon some cute little black bear cubs. She started to explain to her friends that black bears weren’t really dangerous to humans (she had studied some things about America). To which one of her more experienced American friends replied, “Those cubs are not the threat. And your right, most black bears won’t bother humans. But the momma bear of those cubs doesn’t know any of this. If she shows up, you are going to be the one to explain it to her. I’m leaving.”
Easy solution it’s supposed to be a right, not a permission.
What's a porcine? Is this the same as a Snipe?

If I can judge angels, I certainly can judge Amish on their consistency, or lack thereof.
Groundhogs aren't pigs. They are rodents, more closely related to squirrels than to rats, but much closer to either than they are to pigs or humans. (Guinea pigs aren't pigs, either, for that matter. They are distant relatives of rats, squirrels, and groundhogs}.
Ummm, no.
Go judge Gabriel and get back with us.
It stresses me to see such harsh accusations and recriminations of Amish people, especially regarding an article about basic Constitutional Second Amendment Rights.

The Amish stress simplicity and humility. They avoid anything associated with self-exaltation, pride of position or enjoyment of power.Amish believe that God is pleased when people work in harmony with nature, the soil, the weather, and care for animals and plants. Amish always live in rural communities.
Some modern 'conveniences', such as cars, electricity and telephones are avoided. They only avoid technology where it might damage the community, not because they are Luddites or think technology is inherently evil.
Amish are pacifists and conscientious objectors. They avoid all violence - including angry words or going to law.
They basically live the Protestant work ethic as their worship of God.
I don’t have any problem with someone arming themselves for self defense - that’s a subsidiary purpose of the 2nd Amendment. But it does seem a might bit inconsistent with being “pacifists and conscientious objectors.”
Snipe are birds of the wetlands. Sporty shooting.
Too bad for the statists.
Looks like those yellow forms, NICS checks, and photo ID requirements are unconstitutional. I see a huge conflict (with the Constitution), and I'm increasingly disgusted with so-called 'conservatives' who don't.
Nice! (No, I never tried that particular trick ;’)
I agree.
I see an enormous problem. Having to be photographed smells like gun registration and I don’t like government controls on a right. I would call having to have a photograph is an infringement of the 2nd amendment.
