Really? I don't think you guys realize the absurdity of your position.
Are you taking the position that a state should have no right to establish its own criteria for determining who can and cannot receive a concealed weapon permit? Because effectively, that is what the legislation proposed. If Alaska, for example, were to say that anyone could have an Alaskan concealed weapon permit for any reason (including former felons, sex offenders, etc), and all they had to do would be to pay a $10 fee by mail and that they wouldn't even have to be a resident of Alaska to obtain such a permit, this legislation would have then required that the other 49 states accept that permit as valid in their state too. How does that make sense?
Ironically, you are strongly opposed to mandating that states recognize gay marriages performed in other states. Don't you believe in freedom?
