If the Second Amendment were treated with the respect accorded to the First, citizens would be issued firearms upon turning 18. DMVs would offer basic firearms along with voter registration, with a small fee charged for customized weapons (the way they do "vanity" plates).

If the Constituton was followed completely, the DMV woudl cease to exist and the ATF would be transformed into a chain of convenience stores.

YMMV.

Can I add a question:
Do you believe that ex-felons and others should be denied the right to keep and carry arms? (GIven that this was the situation in the US for much of its history, given that ex-felons who want guns to commit crimes will get them anyway, given that legal ownership comes with responsibilities, given that this is the BIG wedge into denial or delay of possession through things like "background checks"?)

Hoplophobe? I thought for sure a hoplophobe would be someone who was against hope and change.

Hoplophobia (pronounced /ˌhɒplɵˈfoʊbiə/), from the Greek hoplon, or weapon, is defined as the "fear of firearms"[1] or alternatively, an irrational fear of weapons in general, and describes a specific phobia.

Most of my family are hoplophobes, but a cousin, in particular is a real moonbat!

One day at her mother's house, she confronted me... "So, what's this I hear about you having a gun?" So I answered her, "yes, I'm a shooter." She said, "You have a gun in your house? Well, I'm never coming over to your house!" I replied, "Gloria, I don't have 'a gun' in my house: I've got 17 guns in my house, and you're not invited to my house!"

I am a 55 year old grandmother of 5. This winter my husband and I completed and passed CCW training. Omaha's crime has really gone up (democrat mayors) so I will NEVER let anything happen to my grandkids or any innocent person I see in danger. Paul Horvick conducted the training and he was great. He's an attorney and a pastor. (I think he needed to get right with God after being an attorney) ONLY KIDDING. I learned so much in his class. I know I won't use a gun unless I am forced to. I also know what to do and not to do if I am forced to use my gun. If every law abiding citizen carried, crime would drop dramatically.

I don’t need to take a test. I admit that I am indeed a hoplophile.
