I paid $150 for my concealed carry permit and I have guns valued at about $2,000.

If you can't afford the license, how the **** do you expect to pay for bullets?

Sorry...the state can't put a tax on a Right...the democrats put a Poll Tax on voting to keep blacks from being able to vote and that was unConstitutional.......same with any training requirement.......

To pretend voting and using a gun are the same thing is to deny physics.

Just because we have a right to own and operate weapons does not relieve us of the responsibility of doing that activity in a safe manner which secures and protects the community, even if that requires us to lay out resources. If we become a wealthy enough nation to justify it, perhaps a scholarship program of sorts for low income gun owners should be discussed, but when "cheap ammo" is 20 cents a bullet, 'low-income gun owner' seems like an oxymoron.

Finally a sensible post from a gun owner here. It will be shredded and declared to be idiotic in 3....2....1.....

The problem is that progressives when given an inch, take a mile. In NYC it costs $1000 and takes 3-6 months just to get a license to keep a revolver in your own home.

When one pays for reasonable processing, and the reasonable cost of a firearm, that is one thing. But governments and people that hate private ownership of firearms place procedures and costs to make people give up when it comes to getting a firearm.

and one can get a decent pistol for $200 or so, so the $2000 figure for weapons you state is moot.

All the more reason to establish REASONABLE federal standards for all the states to abide by and recognize.

I would LOVE to be able to whip out my FL CCP in MO, TX, and a host of other states to buy and walk away with a new gun.

Sorry.....federal standards means they will make it almost impossible to get a permit...they will make the New York and New Jersey way the way for the entire country.......

And that is but one reason it should be a federal permit issued by the ATF , in conjunction with the FBI, and states and cities should have no say in the matter.

I'd prefer federal standards and state administration - but I'm open to just about anything if it will allow me to cross state lines free from worry about the guns in the car.

they just need to pass a law ...like gay marriage.....since carrying a gun is a Right, every state must honor the carry permits of other states.....

"voter id laws are okay, gun id laws are not" is a childish stance.

Wrong....I never said that..in fact, I have said the opposite......I am more than happy to show a drivers license to vote, and to buy a gun.....in fact, I am the one who suggested that convicted felons have FELON on their drivers license and when you buy a gun, you should have to show I.D. to verify who you are.....

Current federal background checks at gun stores are fine by me but they can and should be improved for a faster transaction.....

Universal background checks are just as useless as current federal background checks, and the only reason anti gunners want them is to get universal gun registration...so they are not okay.

Fair....you have seemed to be reasonable...but since I won't back your background check boondoggle now you are getting mad......

Nice concept, but then one has to worry that the feds would start charging punitive fees, and creating long waits for said permit.

In theory, this is yours and my responsibility when we vote, and the safety net is the extreme difficulty in changing The Constitution.

Again, if that "safety net" existed, NYC's laws would have been overturned a long time ago. But apathetic one party rule, plus local judges who also belong to said party results in continued infringement.

Again,

Not caring about the rights of others is a shame.

I care about your rights. But not above the rights of your fellow New Yorkers.

If you can't find a pro-gun attorney in NY who's willing to look in to potential violations of The Second Amendment by NY state and local officials, your position on the subject may be extreme. I'm even willing to bet a dollar that the NRA would be more than happy to fund such an investigation, even if they need to hire attorneys from Texas who're licensed in NY to do it.

If your particular complaint is going unchallenged, I suppose that there is a slim chance that EVERY official in the state is in on the conspiracy....

I recommend starting a national campaign to bring the full political weight of American gun owners to bear against the problem. If nothing gets done after the NRA, you and others invest what they're willing in to the cause, you may want to look in to a move to Kansas. I heard once that the folks in Kansas have VERY liberal gun laws and don't need a license to carry openly, but I never researched it.



If we mix the liberal gun laws of Kansas, Wyoming and Texas with the conservative, tight weapons regulations of the Northeast and California in a spirit of compromise, we may just end up with REASONABLE national gun policy that's administered by the states.


Still not Rocket Science.........
