With the Bruin case settled, they are trying to find any and every other way to infringe on our 2A rights.

My only question is why is not one Oklahoma Senator signed on to this? It didn't help but I voted against every incumbent this year. I feel they been there to long and forgot about their constituents and only pretend they actually care at election time.

Most likely because the Batf region that administers Oklahoma is for the most part very cool to ffls. I’ve had several opportunities for them to be dicks to me but they’ve been nothing but supportive and helpful. Can’t always believe what you hear.

I'll second that. The ATF personnel I have dealt with over the years in this state have always been professional, helpful, and courteous. Some of y'all might try bashing a different straw man.

Helpful...as in helpfully helping you help them infringe on our clearly enumerated rights? Yeah. Buncha sweethearts I'm sure.

As much as we would like to think otherwise, there is no Constitutional right to be in the business of selling firearms.

Fourteenth Amendment

.... No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

I believe that touches on it a bit. I am sure a legal scholar could better articulate it than myself. But is there a constitutional right to be in any business? Ownership of property? I think there is and that you are buying the left's argument that firearms are somehow special and to be treated differently. They can be dangerous if used in an bad way but so can many other products.

Not specifically mentioned no, but the ability to build or buy is implied within the scope of the 2A. Without that, having or carrying would be impossible.
