All well and good. I am sure you are a fine person.Geezah wrote:I did not call any single person ignorant, rather posts where you would suggest that people that have lived in this country as law abiding citizens for ex amount of years be at the mercy of the local LEOs.Petrofergov wrote:How to win friends and influence people.......call them ignorant!!Geezah wrote:
I find these posts oozing ignorance but yet you all buy into the fact that someone that is prepared to break the law will not always purchase a firearm legally. Did you suddenly decide to buy into the crap Toby Hoover spews?
If you read my comment about Toby Hoover then it would make sense, Toby Hoover would have you believe that because I am not (yet) a citizen then I should not be entitled to own a firearm, I could be a terrorist after all and I may use a firearm to shoot down a plane. One less firearm in the hands of a firearm enthusaist.
If I were a potential terrorist the last thing I'm going to do is visit my loal Sheriff's and apply for my CHL
You have, however, overlooked a small, but significant detail.
The United States Constitution grants its rights to citizens. While it's true you enjoy many of the same freedoms as American citizens, they are not your right (yet). They are a privilige granted to you by virtue of the grace, benevolence and wisdom of the United States people. We have historically welcomed foreigners because they have made great contributions to our society.
I am descended from foreigners. I was also born a citizen.
The second amendment does not impart you with the right to bear arms as it does me. Any legal access you have to firearms is, again, a privilige. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Think of it as joining a club like masons or rotary or whatever. Can you just walk up and say I want to join your club and have the same status as the members here? You could, but they'd tell you fine and dandy..... pay yer dues first.
Solution???? Become a citizen. It's worth the effort. I pray for your success.
