[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2089742, member: 3553"] [B]I already have an FOID. It's my citizenship. [/B] [I]If RKBA is a natural right, then the onus is on the government to prove that I have done something so bad I must be stripped from that right in their eyes. [/I] [I]FOID implies that RKBA is no longer a right, but a privilege, becuase the onus will then be on me to prove I am worthy of the FOID. [/I] It's a [B]subtle[/B] difference, but important, IMHO. FOID makes RKBA a privilege, not a right. Once you have an ID card, then it can be denied. Who decides who gets a card? The local sheriff? Or our friendly federal officer? [B][I]If anyone thinks FOID are a good thing, please check this link out: [/I][/B] [url]http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=698024[/url] [U]Your question leads to a larger question: [/U] The anti-s are going to put out a bunch of choices...and say pick some. And we need to say...[B]we pick none. [/B] It's not our fault that newtown happened. we are the good guys. we exercise our rights lawfully. we stop crimes. Overall violent crime is down. mass killings are declining. Anyone can take isolated incidents and blow them up. So, my opinion is : NOt ONE INCH. :) [/QUOTE]
