As a disabled vet that's actually had to go see a psychiatrist just to get clearance for a surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulator to treat severe chronic pain from nerve damage I can personally attest to how screwed up ppl in the mental health system really are. The Dr overheard me speaking to another vet about hunting. That alone led her to deny my clearance & she requested that I needed "extensive counseling" before I could be cleared. Mind you this is all happening as the nation is going nuts over the "opiod epidemic" & instead of cracking down on illegal drugs & pill mills they're going after all highly trained & legitimate pain specialists & their patients so my meds had already been forcefully reduced by govt actions. Took several months to get my intake appt for counseling & once there I spoke indepth with a different psychiatrist, for ~ twice as long, & she ended up apologizing to me for the actions of her colleague then told me I should file a complaint with out pt advocate as well as the hospital director & she would be filing 1 as well. Ended up delaying my surgery by almost 1 full yr anyway. Before anyone says anything, no I've never told any VA worker I own weapons. Like I said, the witch overheard me talking to another vet in an odd shaped waiting area. Just hoping the stimulator helps enough with my pain so I can stop taking my pain meds & go get my LTC. Been taking it for over 20yrs & never felt anything even resembling a high but from what I've been told by 2 different instructors the state won't let me get my license.

@@michelmakeer7624 I am a South African, I do not live in a 'gated security village', or an elite suburb. I have lived in Hillbrow[Jhb], Point[Dbn], Central[PE], and a number of informal settlements. There is violence and crime, poverty in the extreme alongside great wealth. Most people are not armed with firearms. Those that are kill a lot of people, they are slowly reducing in number as is the overflow of automatic weapons from the Cold War proxy wars that flooded the country, adding to those the Apartheid government inserted. As the number of guns reduces so do the killings. People killed in crimes of poverty, escalate when all the poor have in the way of dignity are their 'guns', and trust me it is not the rich being shot. The prevalence of firearms in the USA provides the absurd degree in which 'Officer Safety' exculpates LEO's from accountability in excessive force shootings. The dual profiling of race and crime added to the 'likelihood', have given your police virtual free-fire rules of engagement. In my military training and operational service there had to be clear presentation and intent to fire a weapon in order to employ deadly force. Also your ridiculous stand your ground and castle domain laws make shooting someone relatively unproblematic, in some states you would serve more time if you hit your opponent with a stick and they survived. If there is crime in your neighborhood, sort it out, speak to the authorities as a community, speak to the gangsters as well. Often in an oppressed society it is the best that become criminals, they are reclaimable. That is patronizing I know, nevertheless true.

saun lee coetzee the problem is that the “authorities” may or may not have an incentive to help the community or its people. You are assuming that those in power always have the best interests of their people at heart and will act accordingly and not based on whatever ideology they may hold. A free citizen should not have to justify or advocate for their rights from the state. I’m not talking about perks or privileges that others provide, I’m talking about the freedom of speech the right to challenge authority if their “solutions” punish more good than bad and the right to defend yourself from others attempting to strip you of your rights whether it be a criminal or a tyrannical government. Negotiating with people that want nothing else but to keep taking means they will continue to take until your either dead or submissive. Which is why the 2nd amendment exists.

Also having to have a license to own something that is not inherently dangerous by itself is stupid. I can see having to be licensed to keep something like 95% peroxide or something that can at room temperature conditions degrade into a contact explosive but guns and cars sit where you leave them and will do nothing unless someone uses them. That 95% pure peroxide though, a week or more at room temperature can give you a bomb that can spontaneously ignite or explode.

Free speech has led to death in many different fashions. We shouldn’t take away the right to free speech because some people suck. 2: it doesn’t matter. The reason the founders gave us rights is so that the government couldn’t interfere with those actions. It doesn’t matter if fire arms lead to death, as long as it’s a right, it can’t be infringed. It doesn’t matter if it’s speech or the right to own guns. It’s a right. You shouldn’t be so complicit in the government infringing our rights.

My license is the constitution "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

[@jamesarrendell9517]

Wait is a delay an infringement? I’m pro second but waiting a couple weeks to get a licence is not that crazy

[@blackknightreturns1]

I live in illinois, we have gun licences, F.O.I.D cards, firearm owner identification ..if you lucky you get it in 3 months , a state can not override the supream law of the land and its citizens sould not have to go out and do a months long process to do what the constitution prohibits the government either fed or state from doing they are infringing your GOD given right. I think that's what he is sayin here.

[@jamesarrendell9517]

blackknightreturns1 I don’t see how delays are an infringement. I think it is an idea worth studying and if it does decrease the crime rate it’s worth streamlining and applying. I’m fine waiting a couple months if it means less people die. Nobody complains having to wait years to get a driving licence.

[@blackknightreturns1]

@@jamesarrendell9517 you missed the point but I will just say this, No rule..law or regulation, background check, red flag confiscation or licence will stop a criminal or someone who has made up there mind to do wrong, these things only penalize the law abiding people who don't deserve it.

[@jamesarrendell9517]

blackknightreturns1 you are also missing the point. A small penalty on the time it takes to get a fire arm has the potential to keep firearms away from irresponsible parents, ignorant gun owners, or at least some straw purchases.

They make sure that they poll the people that fit their agenda

[@ralphtaylor7163]

They only poll the people in their SMALL circle. Where I live everyone has a gun, and we don't take classes or buy a license to carry guns. Open carry or concealed, it's your choice, and more importantly, it's your RIGHT.

[@killertruth186]

Yeah, that is a bit of a stretch for them speaking for us when they never earned our trust and respect.

[@legodudepowner]

No polling is going to ask EVERYONE in the country, that's ridiculous. However their polling is supposed to encompass a wide variety of people and backgrounds in an attempt to make up for the inability to poll the whole country. But when they make statements like that it's obvious they just mean group of people that were polled that are representative of the country. Now if they did a bad job in their polling and only choose to poll people with specific opinions them they would receive scrutiny from the community and likely wouldn't be doing any other pollings after being exposed. And then any responsible news sites would pull down any content relating to that information or risk themselves from also being scrutinized and lose subscriptions and money.

[@InfernosReaper]

It *could* be anyone. It *won't* be everyone. Either way, it completely subverts due process, adds vindictive impairments to rights, and literally gets people killed just like waiting periods do. A waiting period doesn't stop a maniac. They'll go through the BS or steal a gun, assuming they don't *already* have one. Society has to *react* to maniacs, because generally we don't know they're going to do something *until* they're *actually* doing it

[@MicroAppleStudios]

@@Gibson_Praise fun fact, this worked for me when I went camping at a national park. Game warden visited me while I was fishing for dinner and I showed him these 2 exact Supreme Court cases. He checked it out and told me to have a good weekend. It doesn't work for say, a drivers license, but it works more effectively with hunt, fishing license. Though with enough backing and spreading, I don't see why it wouldn't work with firearms as well.

[@Gibson_Praise]

Wow cool - thanks for the info, never thought of that- so true ... What if we ALL 'protested' the DENIAL of our 2A Right 2 bear arms without infringement. I know, it sounds crazy to me 2 - just might work \m/

That argument for people who "could be dangerous" is ridiculous, every person on this planet has a breaking point and could become violent, but I guess disarming everyone is their goal.

[@I3igI3adW0lf]

True, but a violent offender or someone with mental illness, especially mental illnesses that cause a person to be violent, is more likely to use a gun to hurt or kill someone than someone just having a bad day.

Hmmm... we have a licensing system here in Illinois. I am now over 3.5 months past the time when the state was required to make a decision on my firearm's license and haven't heard back, nor has anyone returned my request for calls or for a formal hearing with the director of state police. Seems to me that the lady at 10:25 is just outright lying.
