[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1220659, member: 14668"] bbsam, you missed the entire point of my post. If you go to the DMV to get a drivers license, the law states that you SHALL be issued said license upon paying the required fee and demonstrating a reasonable level of proficiency based upon objective criterion. The staff of the DMV [I]cannot[/I] arbitrarily deny you a license for no good reason, and the DMV itself does [I]not[/I] have a political agenda to intentionally make it difficult or impossible for law abiding people to obtain licenses. The same can [I]not[/I] be said for many of the influential anti-gun politicians who like to draw comparisons between drivers licenses and gun licenses. If given free reign to do so, the Bloombergs and Feinsteins and Schumers would love nothing more than to make our Second Amendment rights so difficult and complicated and expensive to excercise that they would cease being "rights" at all. How many years did the citizens of Washington DC and Chicago have to spend fighting for their rights before the Supreme Court finally [I]forced[/I] their local governments to "allow" them to own handguns? And how many of the supposedly "reaonable" politicians you name were speaking out in favor of the 2nd Amedment rights of those citizens during the time that the cases were being decided by the Supreme Court?
