**SNIP**

As the law states right now, before you can get a gun, you have to apply for a permit at your local sheriff's office, and wait for a background check. Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page says it's a lengthy, but worthy process.

"I look for felony convictions, I look for domestic violence convictions, I look for mental health adjudications," said Page. "I also look for what's called moral character."

The proposed bill would eliminate the sheriff's role altogether.

Instead, potential buyers would be evaluated through the National Instant Criminal Background Check. The NICS System is already used by store owners and gun dealers across the state.

"I also look for what's called moral character."

That would pretty much eliminate all politicians and government parasites.

And make sure all your other permits and licenses for the other Ten Amendments are in order as well.

The Federal government can go to Hell.

The permits that they are talking about are permits to purchase. It is a leftover from the black codes designed to prevent black people from having guns.

When the illegals are legalized, what will he find?

Nothing. All their lives were in another country with no records.

But he will be legally bound to issue them permits.

But the citizens will be toast: every traffic ticket, argument with their spouse, every juvenile problem. No permit.

The man will be arming the enemy in our midst.

In Union County, where we have a good sheriff, it takes only a few days. Not that I oppose the change.

Just because you are a character does not mean that you have character.

Yes, I hate the Federal Government with a passion at the moment, but I would support a Federal Law expunging all State Laws regarding firearms, and supplanting them with the existing Constitutional RIGHT to carry a gun if you chose without restriction.

What about your permit to breathe? The Founding Fathers would puke their guts out if they could what we have done to the Nation they turned over to us.

Sometimes I think so, other times I can visualize them smiling knowingly and saying, "Well, boy, what are you going to do about it?" Lives, fortunes, and sacred honor - that's what it took and that's what it's going to take.
