“There’s no valid reason for carry permits, people who don’t qualify because they broke a law somewhere aren’t going to be concerned about breaking another law. Such laws only make it more difficult for those who don’t make a habit of breaking laws reluctant to go through what is a usually lengthy investigation in order to qualify for a Constitutionally guaranteed right.”
The valid reason is that it offers us a stepping stone to get our rights back. We went from 1 State with constitutional carry in 1994 to five with constitutional carry today, and bills passing legislatures in at least 4 other states as we debate this.
We have not been able to get back everything in one leap, so we have to do it incrementally.
Stepping stone to retake what compromisers tried to give up? They (NRA) are some of the worst of all compromisers.
The NRA has willfully sought to keep cases from being decided that would confirm the unconstitutionality of having to get permits for Constitutionally protected rights. You have the right to carry in the Second Amendment.
” We have not been able to get back everything in one leap, so we have to do it incrementally.”
The NRA is behind this.
I mean you no disrespect as I know how much time and effort you put out to inform on gun issues but face it the NRA is a huge machine and that machine takes large sums of money to run.
They need to come out and force cases to courts that set a precedent that affirms the Second Amendment. They have not and they will not because they would become obsolete.
The NRA showed some backbone a few months back but that didn’t last long.
As I posted earlier;
NRA is to gun owners as Al Sharpton is to blacks.
Maybe later in the year, I can get to Austin.
