lawyers] and not lost that right, due to felony conviction, less than honorable service discharge or removel from office because of denial to others their constutional rights. this shall issue permit

pleabargning . once a charge is made aginst an individual that
person must stand trial on that charge and be sentced to serve
that sentense ,if convicted, after all other related sentenses are
served with no probation or porole.if we can send a person with a
gun to iraque , why not that same person carrying a gun in the
U.S.A.?

Answer 1

I like everything you said except the part about how only police and ex-military should get permits.

Answer 2

Because the federal government is not allowed to regulate firearm usage, except in very limited circumstances (interstate sales, on federal property, etc.). That's a 2nd Amendment issue.

Since the 2nd Amendment only applies against the federal govt, that leaves the states as the sole authority to regulate firearm usage. Which is why almost all gun ownership and registration laws are state matters.

Answer 3

Because federal authority has not yet been expanded so much as to usurp that authority from the states.

Answer 4

I don't think you quite thought that whole thing throw yet....

We don't have a federal firearm permit yet and we probably won't ever if the democraps get in...
