"Asking you to take a test does not seem like a big deal to me".
No, it isn't a big deal, but, if I took a test in NYC, or Boston, could I have the same level of freedom I have here?
The "take a test" thing always evolves to something else.
There are many things a president can do other than those done personally, and his choices, good or bad, often outlive his term of office.
We are not speaking about "tests", and investigations, in the long run, but about people who do not see any value in the 2nd amendment, and will ignore it, or defy it. I will not support, or follow, these people.
I did not intend "insult", but I've got to wonder why you think the Founders were so careful to craft a Republic, as opposed to a demoracy. How do you define "Republican"?
So you think that a man who swears to uphold the law would violate it just to take your gun?
I see a lot of issues that are more important then guns. Your guns were useless on September 11,2001.
I define a Republican as being for limited government, but not NO government.
