While I strongly support the Second Amendment and licensed carry of firearms, I cannot support the current bill in the Legislature that would allow unlicensed persons to carry firearms. Please note the hypocrisy of the Legislature, as the proposal would allow unlicensed carry on Main Street, but not on Gervais Street (at the State House). If this is such a good idea here, why is it not a good idea there? |

Because legislaters are afraid of law abiding people! And they should be worried! |

Yet another "I support the Second Amendment BUT" useful idiot.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875)
The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms as uninfringeable, hence requiring permits to exercise the right is facially impermissible.
Ignoring the plain command of the Second Amendment because one may not feel comfortable with it is selfish and disingenuous. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
