We just need to get back to common sense... and forcing a citizen to complete a "competency" test to exercise a right is not the way to go about it.

I never said that. That's your idea not mine. The majority of our population lives where they can't find a place to shoot or bring a gun to school and that was true in 1900 too.

Yeah, I'm afraid you did...

Imagine the differences it would make if virtually every child were taught firearms safety, handling and care by competent instructors.

Just shows how slippery this subject is, these days we have a government that cannot be trusted... everything they do is behind the curtain, and anytime we accept their premise when arguing this subject, we start off at a deficit in the fight.

This is must always be our base line... "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."

You know as well as I, that one of the Lefts crowning achievements would be to find a way to, with a stroke of a pen, remove a citizens Rights due to "competency issues".

After all, as the anti-2A people constantly tell us:

...There are only a few that have the "need" to carry a weapon. State/Local and/or Federal Law Enforcement are really the only people with enough training and stability to carry these deadly devices.

...The common citizen just doesn't have the proper accreditation to carry a weapon safely, even returning military vets need to be completely checked out, after all who could possibly be stable after years of non stop combat operations.

You must also know, that they already have an active goal of challenging "competency" in many areas with regard to the 2nd Amendment as the stories roll through FR weekly, and you also know that they have been attempting to institute it for years.

I'm just sayin... Lets not help the Leftists/Anti-2A dirtbags out, no citizen should need government generated "qualifiers" on a Natural Right, in order to have, use and practice them.
