If my citizenship was revoked, instead of crying to everyone around me, i would produce the documents that show I was born in this country, to natural born citizen parents and be on my way. What I wouldn't do is wake up every morning feeling sorry for myself and looking for someone to blame. I would fight regain my citizenship.

Who is crying about their citizenship?

Jake, you covered what see as responsibilities. And I see some peoples point of view, but I would never leave a country I was born in to live elsewhere unless I loved that country more than my homeland. And I see things different than most. If I was going to be a citizen in another country I would learn the language and laws and do whatever it took to gain my citizenship.

What if you left your birth country when you were 3 years old and the United States was all you've ever known? Are you saying you'd need a piece of paper to reassure you that you love the only place you've ever known as home?

Imho- any shop owner, especially a gun shop owner, has the inherent RIGHT to discriminate. How often do you see the sign in the window of the 7-11 "No shirt- no shoes- no service". That is discrimination. Good luck trying to sue a gun shop owner for making the decision- and posting it if necessary, that they will only sell firearms to US citizens.

that's true, but the state of Colorado is the only one that can or will sell to a permanent resident.

Is it that expensive now?
It was so much cheaper back then.....

I've heard exams are getting harder and harder.
It is getting stricter and stricter as well.
