It's nice that the restaurant where you wait tables lets you eat for free, but food like that isn't healthy so you'd be wise to save your tips and buy one of these:
I need that plate, but in Spanish. I guess I have to buy a ceramic transfer printable sheet, you have these at the restaurant where you work? It is ok, I know you are concerned for my health but 28.6 BMI is not bad for an old lion like me. A lot of my weight actually is muscle, been using the elliptic a lot. Love the plate though. Have you ever had air dried bacon? They say it tastes like people.
Are you referring to a concealed carry license? My understanding is that there is no license required to purchase a firearm, at least in most jurisdictions. You do have to pass the federal firearms background check. There is an important issue here that you seem to be overlooking. The right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Constitution and has been affirmed by the Supreme Court as an individual right. I should not have to convince some panel of busybodies that I deserve to have a gun any more than I have to convince them that I can write a newspaper editorial.
The facts as I understand them are it that ordinary citizens may not carry in New York City and possibly Chicago. If so, our second amendment rights are effectively irrelevant in these places.
You can carry in those cities. These jurisdictions get around the amendment violation by putting immense difficulty in getting approval for your CCW. High costs, high rate of denials, etc. They make it next to impossible in practicality but say you can get one. Of course, criminals get whatever they want.
So our second amendment rights are constructively blocked by the actions of these cities. Isn’t there legal precident to being able to overturn overly restrictive ordinances? If so, why isn’t this being done?
It was partially done in Chicago. Hard to overturn when liberal judges rule in favor of existing law. Costs money to appeal.
You have just gave a good reason why we must support the NRA more than a $49.00 membership fee. Personally, I made an donation well beyond the initial membership fee when I joined them recently.
