I would like to commend the Tulsa World for recently taking a strong stance against permitless carry legislation and recognizing it as a dangerous and unnecessary proposition ("Tulsa World editorial: State can honor Second Amendment and modestly limit gun possession," Feb.10).
As the Oklahoma Legislature once again considers passing this reckless piece of legislation, it is worth revisiting why it is opposed by the majority of Oklahomans, including law enforcement, and why it was vetoed by Gov. Mary Fallin just last year. |

So, where did the power come from, that tells elected servants that law abiding citizens of this country, have to pay a "Fee", in order to be "Permitted" to exercise a Constitutional Right? |

The letter is from an operative of Moms Demand Action.
No ideological bias there, huh. |

If it is so problematic, why has it not been a problem in the other 14 states that have already passed constitutional carry?

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
