[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3617156, member: 42584"] I agree with you that everyone has the right to self-defense and self-protection but should, for example, a paranoid schizophrenic or a hardcore meth addict be allowed unfettered access to firearms and ammunition? How about someone that is 'legally' blind but can still see well enough to get around without assistance some of the time? Also what about the individual that, for whatever reason, has lost their ability to tell the difference between right and wrong, or the grown adult with the mental/emotional capacity of a 4 year old? The phrase "[B]. . . shall not be infringed[/B]" can become a very slippery slope indeed 🤔 Personally, I consider driving on public roads to be a [B]Right [/B]rather than a privilege, being that some of my taxes pays for the construction and maintenance of those public roads, though I do believe that for the public good I should have to demonstrate my ability to safely operate a vehicle and be issued proof of that ability (i.e. a license).
