My son-in-law despite having gone thru the NRA Pistol Course, Home firearm safety and spending a couple years in Irag with the Marines was deemed not worthy for ALP in Fall River. He was restricted to sporting. Despite the training classes and military service the firearms officer said "I don't even know if you know how to use a gun". They're moving to a green town in May.
I beg to differ, if you are willing to put your stones on the chopping block for this nation of retards some slack should be accorded to you.
Interspersed throughout the book are other flashbacks to Rico's high school History and Moral Philosophy course, which describe how in the Terran Federation of Rico's day, the rights of a full Citizen (to vote, and hold public office) must be earned through some form of volunteer Federal service. Those residents who have not exercised their right to perform this Federal Service retain the other rights generally associated with a modern democracy (free speech, assembly, etc.), but they cannot vote or hold public office.
So if I understand correctly, you feel that service members have a higher claim to 2A rights than the rest of us?
The unfortunate thing is the issuing PD holds jurisdiction over your gun license until it expires regardless of moving out of the town/city. Your son-in-law may not see an unrestricted license until he submits for renewal with the new PD.
NO! I think all gun restrictions are pure BULLSHIT! and a violation of our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS. PERIOD! The Constitution codifies those rights and NO ONE should be able to infringe on those rights. PERIOD
Unfortunately we have been asleep at the wheel and we have allowed those ass sucking weasels that have attached themselves to our wallet to bully us into thinking that they know better than we do. Now WE have to live with the frikin system that WE allowed to happen. Until WE can change it back to what it SHOULD be peacefully and, if necessary, with "refreshing the tree of liberty". WE have to live with our own stupidity!
With all that said, A person that has put his stones on the block deserves additional consideration under the currently ****ed up system that is in place. He earned it!
So really, you mean "Yes!"
Please read closely and try to see the nuance
1) Gun restrictions are BULLSHIT
2) NO Citizen should ever be restricted from owing a firearm (that includes felons!)
3) Our license system is ****ed up
4) people that have served their county deserve some consideration in our ****ed up licensing system for their sacrifice (it is substantial in some cases)
and the questions was "you feel that service members have a higher claim to 2A rights than the rest of us"
No they don't have a higher claim but they do deserve consideration under the system that has been forced upon us.
GOT IT?

I see your point, and understand where it comes from (I think). I have a great deal of respect for those who volunteer to serve our country. Where I have a problem is in a red city like Fall River, if you even get issued a LTC, it has BS restrictions on it. I think it's fair to say that someone with firearm training courtesy of the USMC meets and exceeds the basic requirements of gun safety. But to go past that and say that because someone was in the service, they should jump over the rest of the population, and get a no-restriction LTC because of that, I believe is wrong.
So I guess we are in agreement with 1, 2, and 3. Partial agreement on 4.
Umm what ever. I caught my self going all r lee emery on your dumb keister.So, you are implying that you want this right to not be a right, but a privilege? Got it. Nice job outing yourself.
