Yes.
An American citizen who is of age, mentally stable, with a clean criminal background (no misdeameanors or felonies), clean driving records going back to 30 years, who partakes in community affairs and who is well educated will not get a permit unless other people say it is OK for him/her to get that permit. Iow, I, an American-born citizen, cannot get a permit solely because the constitution grants me that right - other people in the community - eg, friends, neighbors, co-workers, strangers, relatives etc - must also OK it.
