I suspect the editorial writers for the LA Times are not gun owners and, maybe, don’t know any gun owners. But it’s worth noting that despite having two ostensibly opposing groups of armed people in Charlottesville, no shots were fired. It wasn’t the gun owners who got violent, it was the kids with flagpoles and one nut with a muscle car.
I’m not a lawyer so maybe there is some sort of time and place exception that could be used by local police when doling out permits. But it seems to me that, ultimately, the state can’t dole out one constitutional right to be exercised at a time. We don’t get to have the First Amendment only if we agree to give up the Second, at least I hope not. |

OK, we will give up the 1st Amendment for keeping the 2nd.
Then We The People will take back the 1st using the 2nd. |

| The prior restraint of any constitutionally-protected fundamental right is a BIG no-no. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these States....Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America — Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789. |
