I think he’s forgetting something.
There’s a reason the evil but cowardly bastards won’t try mass gun confiscation — becauase they know they can’t and if they make it up close and personal for enough of us, some of us are going to0 start making it up close and personal for them. And that means the Second Amendment is still working.

In contrast to the dominant scholarly approaches, which focus on gun deviance and harm, I find there is more to firearms than criminal violence, injury and death; more to gun owners than straight white men; and more to gun culture than democracy-destroying right-wing politics. [More]
If not for “straight white men” and “right-wing politics,” you wouldn’t have any guns, you fool.

That would be the Weasel Whisperer.
She joined the New Yorkers Against Gun Violence anti-defense zealots in a Columbine High School Memorial Blood Dance to call “for renewal and strengthening of the federal assault weapons ban.”
She launched a “gun amnesty/buyback” program—“no questions asked,” naturally, “to get illegal and unwanted weapons off the streets.”
I guess gun rights aren’t important when your Republican fundraiser husband [was] a federal prison alumnus—as a felon, he can’t legally own a gun. Besides, when you have a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, one who made more than $87,000 in overtime in addition to his $101,000-plus salary, who need a personal gun?

Accordingly, we hold that LCMs do not fit the constitutional definition of “arms” before even reaching whether they are “commonly used for self-defense.”However, LCMs also fall outside either protection of the right to bear arms because the provisions protect only those arms that are commonly used for selfdefense, and we have been presented with no credible and persuasive evidence or argument that LCMs are commonly used for such a purpose.

Gee, who would ever think those arguments could be a trap?
In this conversation, Mark Walters and David Codrea delve into the complexities surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. They discuss the implications of the ‘common use’ argument, the distinction between self-defense and militia purposes, and the political landscape regarding gun rights.

And try figuring this argument out:

Right. The Founders obviously intended the citizenry to resist tyranny with inferior arms.
I assume these government lawyer aren’t retarded, so that makes them goddamn liars.

As long as we’re talking about “Only Ones” in Massachussetts, WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M sends a reminder of our place:
https://www.mass.gov/how-to/apply-for-a-firearms-license
In a comment to article on boston.com on fraud within a Boston NPO, a reader recommended that others apply for a Massachusetts License to Carry Firearms (LTC) so that they could better exercise their right to self defense. A Massachusetts LTC is required to purchase or possess a firearm unless the gun owner is in transit through the state and has the firearm and ammo in a locked enclosure. Stop and stay? Felony arrest for possession of a firearm without a valid LTC with a possible mandatory one year minimum incarceration if found guilty. What is not obvious from the instructions is that a resident LTC is multi year while a nonresident LTC is for one year only. As a former Massachusetts resident who possessed and renewed a resident LTC several times, I know that that the right to keep and bear arms is not a right but a heavily taxed privilege with a higher rate of taxation for nonresidents. Even resident retired LEO possessors of a LEOSA issued license pay a tax, although at a discounted rate compared to other residents.
My friends and family in Massachusetts do not understand why I minimize my visits. Short of a SCOTUS decision that all licensing schemes by the various states are unconstitutional, null and void, I await Federal reciprocity legislation but fully expect Democrat Party controlled Massachusetts to pass some reactionary measures.
The government maintained site is defective as it does not specify that non-resident licenses are for one year only.
I do not recall that the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights has so many categories for rights that in reality are taxable privileges at various rates that the government may or may not dispense once you pay the non-refundable tax. As a right, there should not be taxation or multiple categories of taxation. The majority of states already are in alignment with this by not requiring state or Commonwealth issued licenses or permits.
$100 per year is ornerous and is another argument for passage of reciprocity legislation at worst or for the SCOTUS to decide that all firearm licensing and permitting schemes are unconstitutional and thus null and void.
If any state or Commonwealth imposed these type of conditions, restrictions and fees before citizens were allowed to vote then there would be vigorous and loud opposition.
