I live in a location where I have to ask permission from the government in order to exercise my 2A rights. Twice every decade I have to fill out forms and pay a fee. The first time you do this around these parts it is quite the hassle. Mandated education courses, live fire test, background checks, etc. The whole nine yards.

I the past week I have had 3 different people come to me and say "This pandemic thing is really showing me that I need to be able to protect myself. I think it is time to finally go out and buy a gun." These are left leaning folks who seem to have been under the impression that they could go and buy one at the corner store. They are shocked and indignant that they are not trusted members of society. They are outraged that the process will take months before they are allowed by the gov. to protect their home and family.

All I want to do is rub their noses in it like a misbehaving dog. It is what they deserve... these fuckers are why these laws get on the books.

...But I am not. They are seeing the light for the first time and this is the perfect time to convert people.

Food for thought.

I bought a bunch of Snap Caps to teach newbies how to properly load a magazine, insert it into the mag well, and rack the slide. It takes the fear out of learning at a (loud) gun range.

Months... That is messed up. In my state I can walk out right after purchase. Although I did have a couple of purchases get flagged (I'd love to know why some get flagged and some don't), but even then the most I had to wait was three days before I could go back and pick it up. I do believe 3 days in the max here.

Months is just in the beginning to get your license. From then it is pretty standard... go in, fill out the form, wait 10 min while they run the NICS check, pay, walk out.

To get your license though you need to take a class and wait while they state does a background check that takes forever.

Ever see that Always Sunny episode about gun control? It's perfect.
