Yes I know driving or owning a car has nothing to do with our 2nd amendment right. Im just using that as an example of the licensing issue.
I could use an even better example. Fishing license. Or how about marriage license. Both are things that promote freedom, and life, liberty and
persuit of happiness. Yet both require a license. So we need a license to persue life, liberty and happiness.
In other words, there are plenty of things out there that require a license that are already and have been infringing on our freedoms for a long
time.
Im not saying its right, nor am I in agreement with it. I am simply saying, its just another way for them to put their thumb over our heads, and make
money at the same time.
Lets look at the handgun and the requirement for registering and waiting to buy one. That has been on the books for at least 20 years now. Tho it is
mostly a state by state requirement, it is there regardless. Hence, that alone infringes on the 2nd amendment, and that was enacted 20 some years
ago.
Cheers!!!!
