I don't have an issue paying for the gun itself, my issue is with an excessive fee who's only purpose is to make it harder to get a gun, and to discourage people from getting them. The government is the one that cannot infringe on my right to keep and bear arms, and a 6 month wait period and $1000 fee is infringement.
And you are wrong about the militia. The 2nd amendment says the States retain the right to form militias, it leaves the right to keep and bear arms to the people.
It says arms. That could be a club. Are you allowed to have a club without a fee? If so you are not being infringed.
Nice try. Arms have always been recognized as firearms, and firearms in common use. a revolver is a common use fire arm.
No it does not say firearm, nor a right to all arms. A club is an arm and has always been since before guns existed.
This is the same tired argument that gun grabbers have used over and over, and it has been refuted and debunked over and over.
I have a right to own a revolver, and the right to be able to get one without excessive government interference. Your opinion of my need for one is moot, and the NYC government's desire to make it is hard for me as possible is unconstitutional, bordering on criminal.
It is too bad you can't take it all the way to the Supreme Court....I would like to see someone use the 14th Amendment to go after these gun grabber laws...since they are in clear violation of that Amendment........
Sooner or later someone will get sick enough of it to make it a case that will stick. That of course relies on the Supreme court staying friendly to 2nd amendment rights.
