Keep in mind those studies don't count those that have obtained their citizenship or have various other statuses. Still they are foreign from this country and not born here is what I am arguing. So this is not here nor there.place the blame for crime rates on immigrants - which is not the case, as studies have shown that they are less likely to commit crimes, if only so as not to draw attention to themselves.
Specifically?Megan's Law
There are still quite a few instances of criminals repeating the same or similar crimes and going through multiple program per original infraction. I think people are too far gone and simply should be executed without parole or appeal after their third strike at a different date and time.If you don't go through - and successfully complete - relevant programmes, in my view. you shouldn't be released.
Multiple Inquiries without so much as a response. If the government is so incompetent I don't think they should have a say who gets which firearms. the government telling me that I am a prohibited person in order to possess a firearm when I have been teaching and selling firearms as well as carrying them legally for decades is ridiculous and insulting. Likewise when I run the federally mandated check on government employees such as police officers and them failing on occasion is ridiculous as well. It illustrates perfectly why the government shouldn't be in charge of this.Have you enquired into why the system flagged you?
System was implemented by Biden in 94. Many decades of the same system without addressing the shortcomings of said system. I have no other conclusion other than political harassment of gun owners. The system also denies you transfer even though you aren't under legal prohibitive status. For example a customer told me their overturn was successful after a tax audit on the private individual's business in another state prevented him from transferring a firearm. This raises many red flags and frankly it simply pisses me off and encourages people to simply go around this silly system. If you can simply make up or prohibit a transfer for a non legal reason then all the more reason not to trust the government with such things. You do so by the book and no more period.I understand your concerns, and frustration, with both NICS, and your state's own ICS, nevertheless wouldn't this be better addressed through fixing those systems?
The law is supposed to be an assumption of innocence not guilt. It isn't my job nor should it be to prove someone essentially innocent. It would be up to the police to make an arrest of someone in violation of the law not a private citizen.Given that you need such systems in place to tell if someone is "safe", if you don't know whether someone is legitimate or not, how can you sell them a gun?
For doing what exactly? The Federal Firearm's Licensee is held with the company not the individual and not through an individual contractor. I wouldn't lose an FFL because I am required to have one working for an FFL. I am not selling firearms the company is.Wouldn't this result in your losing not just your FFL but also possibly your other gun-related licences?
One remote possibility of losing any type of license would be losing a carry permit to knowingly sell to a prohibited person defined by federal law. A background check denial doesn't prove that a person is of prohibitive status. It means the state deems them so it doesn't prove anything as I already outlined with my problem with it.
The criminal record database is not held current nor are records commonly transferred between states. (again Biden the implementer had decades to fix this and yet did nothing the only change is to the form and mostly for bad intentions such as establishing a firearms registry which is federally prohibited).
I don't think you know how the law works. Post this incident I think you massively misrepresented it.It reminds me of news repost I saw of a FFL in NC who, when Obama was elected, gave guns to anyone who entered his gun store. In my view, this was not just negligent but criminally so.
Non NFA items have NO federal requirement to be registered. How is this a violation of an FFL that I don't even hold or maintain? Don't make statements when you have NO clue about the law. My state DOES NOT have firearms registries for NONNFA items. Read and understand the law before you make false statements.Again, this would be in breach of your duties as a FFL, with legal consequences.
Anyone that would steal firearms. Who would benefit from open knowledge of who held which firearms gee I wonder?By whom?
Yes I argued against the trust of these specific to incompetence I cited earlier not the WHOLE of government. DMV, NICS, NFA etc all have their examples of being incompetent/corrupt. This is what I am referring to.That's what civics, political engagement, and democracy are for, and about.
That is nevertheless the reason behind the second amendment. The context of when it was written was to maintain power to the people not under the command of the government. Even the founder's recognized that they could be tyrannical and thus specifically safeguarded those rights to challenge government.No state condones treason - any state that does, negates its very right to exist.
Armed and lethal force against police has been used in the Battle of Athens after world war 2. It has been used against government agents and will be used again.
I also see great irony. What I advocate for would reduce the impact of corporations in order to make deals with government as the government wouldn't hold enough power for Corporate Socialism for one and secondly the political process would be far more dependent on representing yourself and less steps. This is Conservatism and Libertarianism in spades - though this is off topic.It's ironic that Americans talk about "Big Gubmint" but fail to see that there are three dangerous "Bigs" - Big Government, Big Corporation, and Big Citizen.
