For the FFL I use, $50 per.

I wouldn't agree with that.

Edit: Probably even if it cost a dollar honestly, I was just curious about the cost.

Until you've had to kill a pack of coyotes at 4 AM from a moving truck, or drop a boar in about three second flat before it rips you to ribbons, your opinion on what's "reasonable" isn't worth much.

And as much as I sympathize with your experiences, I have literally been put in jail for engaging in a legal activity. And then released with the "Apologies of the City of San Francisco" As loud and rude as those sacks of crap may have been, I doubt they literally kidnapped you for your beliefs.

Yeah, that's how the Nazis treated the Jews. Let them go after arresting them and apologised.

People use guns to kill people sometimes. Shocking, I know.


I would give up literally any other constitutionally protected right if it got me true protection of the 2nd. You may find my opinion rediculous, but you are not me, and as the saying goes "Your truth is not my truth".

The 2nd Amendment is absolutely vital - taking it away, even gradually, is stupid.

Yeah being thrown on pavement, cuffed, and dragged to jail is kinda how they treated Jewish people.

Other things

-I'm on a registry list, so is my wife.
-We are required to carry paperwork on our persons, failure to produce registry paperwork is grounds for criminal charges.
-if a police officer decides the business I'm engaging in isn't "reasonable" I am subject to arrest, there is no defined limits to this.
-I'm required to inform the DOJ if I want to move.
-If the DOJ has a wait time, I cannot move until the paperwork is processed.
-I'm not allowed to repair my weapon or have it repaired without DOJ permission, and fees paid to transfer it.
-I can never sell, give away, or lend my weapon to other people. If I die, it is confiscated by the state and destroyed, I cannot will it to my children.
-If I am treated by a medical professional for any condition related to psychological stress or defect, my weapons are confiscated and destroyed.

I'm sorry, did they throw you in an oven and then make your child scoop the ashes out for owning a gun? Did they hunt down and systematically exterminate you and everyone you love for owning a gun? Did they put you in a camp and work and starve you to death because you wanted an assault rifle instead of a regular rifle? Do you actually live in reality or is rural where-the-fuck-ever, California some advanced simulation designed to infiltrate the web with offensive and stupid nonsense?

So, anyway, as we can see, feelings are strong on both sides and I would hope (probably in vain) that we can agree that urban dwellers have very different needs than rural dwellers and should not be subject to their whims via the electoral college.

That works both ways and it's the problem. Rural dwellers shouldn't be subject to the whims of urban dwellers via the popular vote.

So how would you fix the system? Urban votes count less than rural dwellers and they get less representation then rural areas?

If only the urban dwellers hadn't gutted states rights as a means of resolving this dispute while also consistently expanding the power of the federal government. Hmm.

I'm sure both sides are equally at fault here guys, no elephant in the room at all. No. It's clear that someones opinion has to be forced on someone else, and neither of the sides involved made it that way themselves and so turnabout isn't priceless when it occurs.

But seriously.
Why not do states rights and dismantle the federal governments power again?

"Ima set up a system to force my views on the hicks and forget that the EC is rigged in their favor... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Well, now we have to unrig the EC, because it's just not fair that you can force your views on me. No, we're not reversing the first change I made that caused this problem in the first place and made the situation untenable."

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Honestly, how I would fix it?

Weaken the Federal government, as in, really really weaken.

cease states to exist as government bodies, all rights that were previously attributed to states are now the jurisdiction of counties/parishes etc.

What's the difference between that and having 52 sovereign states instead of the USA?
