I think it's terrible news for second amendment supporters. This is an example of over-correction.
A right implies you don't need the government's permission to exercise it. I don't need the government's permission to go to church, plead the 5th, not house troops in my house, to protest(
before you claim you need a permit that permit is to use the space, not to protest), be a member of the press and so on.A permit is permission from the government.
But the second amendment is fragile,
If you live in New York, California or any other anti-2nd amendment state then the 2nd amendment exists in name only because its been turned into a state granted privilege. If you live a pro-2nd amendment state then your state is safe and you have to keep an eye out for anti-2nd amedment trast at the federal level.
One of the agendas of the left (one of the few I disagree with) is stricter gun control.
If you mean banning semiautomatic firearms under the guise of an assault weapons ban and banning ten to thirty round standard capacity magazines under the guise of a high capacity magazine ban then you are right and turning the 2nd amendment into a state granted privilege that only a select few get then you are correct.
"Common sense" gun laws are a favorite tactic of the anti-second amendment folks, because they tend to be hard to argue with.
They are not hard to argue with because they are not common sense. "common sense with comming out of the mouths of anti-2nd amendment trash is code for lets ban semiautomatic firearms and enact laws that will make future confiscations easier like registrations, permits/licenses and etc.
Locking up a firearm when a small child in in the house is common sense. Knowing how to safely handle a firearm before playing with it is common sense.
Then mandate firearm safety classes for k-12 education. We tell kids don't do drugs so you don't end up a piece of **** drug addicted loser who gets ass rapped by big bubba in prison. We tell kids don't talk to strangers do that Chester the child molester doesn't get them. Well tell kid to look both ways before crossing the street so they don't become street pizza. We tell kids not to run with scissors because they can stab themselves or others.I even seen a PSA once telling girls not to send nude pictures to their boyfriend because he might share them with the whole school and you'll be slut shamed. You would think in a country with nearly four hundred million firearms in the hands of civilians and that number growing higher each year
( especially when anti-2nd amendment trash are calling for bans) that firearm safety would be a must in our schools.
Carrying a concealed firearm without any training defies common sense. Most won't do this. Of those that do, most won't hurt anyone. But the fact of the matter is that even one untrained yokel who accidentally shoots and kills someone on the bus because he is carrying his firearm in an unsafe manner can too easily start an avalanche of anti-gun hysteria
Anti-2nd amendment trash don't give a rats ass about single deaths. Those types of deaths are not easy to exploit for firearm bans as mass shootings are in their minds.
that will be difficult to stop with the decline of the NRA and the progressive direction of the country.
1.You think the NRA is the only pro-2nd amendment group out there? There is Gun Owners of America and various other pro-2nd amendment groups out there will take the NRA's place if the NRA ever falls.
2.If the NRA was powerful as anti-2nd amendment trash would have you believe then the 2nd amendment wouldn't be a state granted privilege in New York, California and other anti-2nd amendment states. If the NRA was as powerful as anti-2nd amendment trash would have you believe then you would be able to walk into any gun store in the entire US and buy any gun you want without needing a permit.
