"BEFORE you get the permit, JOIN THE NRA!"

The NRA helped draft the Brady Bill.
Just what our enemies want, people registering their guns so files can be hacked into and people rounded up.
That is why our Founding Fathers DID NOT call for gun registeration.

Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.
How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS.

#1 GET REAL
#2 I AGREE with you in principle...but GET REAL! Ain't gonna happen!
#3 The NRA handed the election to BUSH. Gore and Clinton have publicly accepted this. So should you. In fact, I believe that all those onerous evil bills to which you allude actually served as an important wake up call to all gun owners and they are not set into stone...having a SUNSET clause which will cause them to automatically expire. Think the NRA is going to allow their renewal? See the first sentence of #3 above.
#4 Is the NRA the final answer to our gun control problems? Of course not...I personally like the Gun Owners of America better...but I'll throw them more support when THEY get over 4 MILLION members! In the meantime, see the first sentence of #3 above.
#5 NOW is the time to take the offensive (in a REAL ...not fantasy manner) in a legislative sense. We need to be putting pressure on Congress to pass a federal law that makes state concealed weapons permits reciprocal between states IAW the 2nd Amendment and more importantly the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the 14th Amendment so that just as our DRIVERS LICENSES are good in all states (the binding precedent) so too, should our gun permits be recognized. This should be done as an adjunct to any "Homeland Defense Bill" Congress decides to enact...this is of course a matter of national security.

I love your posts, by the way....

If you look at this link that you posted:

..notice that only men would be allowed to be armed, given the interpretation of the court in "In United States v. Miller":

"...It was upon this force that the States could rely for defense and securing of the laws, on a force that ``comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense,'' who, ``when called for service . . . were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time."

Let's see what would happen if the socialists tried to disarm the women of America...oh yeah, we are seeing it:
