Died in the senate today.

damn it

[DeusExMachina]

The Dem senate assigns all 2A legislation to the Vet committee, where Dems have a majority. It's their hit squad. Rediculous.

I guess they forgot to consider that open carry is legal without a permit per state law...

“All we’re saying is if you’re going to carry a weapon, you should get a permit,” said Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, the chairman of the committee.

What a bunch of crap. I assumed this would be the case from the beginning, just knowing the card carrying left wing douche bags that were somehow elected last year, but it still sucks to see this happen.

We should just take little steps and get them to drop all of the fees. It is our constitutional right to bear arms, the least that they could do is not charge us a fee to violate our rights.

“All we’re saying is if you’re going to carry a weapon, you should get a permit,” said Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, the chairman of the committee.

In other words: " If you are going to carry a weapon we want to know who you are and we want your money".

Hmmm, Chairman of the Committee, D- Boulder.....
There is your answer right there!



Now for getting the flamethrower- While I am all for loosening the stranglehold and assault on our 2A rights I am not so sure the Constitutional Carry was that great of a thing.
After working in the retail end of the industry for a few years there were certainly some who while able to lawfully purchase and own a firearm I am not so sure that they should be carrying. You know the type, the "I am glad he is not my neighbor" kind.
I think there should be some means of ensuring that the individual is competent to carry.

...I think there should be some means of ensuring that the individual is competent to carry.

So when do you start the competency testing for owning...? When do you start saying that people on antideressants can not even own?

DO NOT start down this rabbit hole amigo.... it leads to nowhere fast!

[TFOGGER]

That can be said for many people concerning many activities which are nonetheless legal and virtually without regulation: Consuming alcohol, procreation, operating power tools, purchasing a propane torch, etc.

Just because something is legal, doesn't mean everyone SHOULD do it. Stupid tends to be self correcting in the longer term.

The decision to carry a sidearm is a decision that carries with it a tremendous moral obligation to yourself and the society that you encounter.

I would just like to see some means of making sure that those that choose to carry are well aware of that obligation.

We see what happens when people do not uphold their moral obligations daily, just watch the Jerry Springer show................

Damn, you played the "Jerry Springer" card on me...
