For the basic principle of my rights were never meant to be bought

Why give money to law enforcement that justifies giving them money to carry a firearm while police brutality is such a big hitter today. Or NRA instructors to hold the class and take that money while majorly misrepresenting firearm owners for greed?

Then pay a state government with proof I took an 8 hour class and fired 40 rounds through a handgun, just so they can further restrict my rights or squeeze more money out of me in taxes. Why is there a process in the first place just to determine if I can wisk my tshirt over a handgun that I paid for and have every right to do so with property I own?

We're out here fighting for the rights we should have had from the start, not fighting for us to get the rights we lost last week, ya know? Nothing in my mind justifies paying into a system that normally oppresses us, so we can sorta have a right I've been guaranteed to from birth

So you would rather just do without your rights then? The system exists to make you look at it and give up you're doing exactly what they want they never wanted you to carry so they created this system. I moved to Louisiana from Illinois carrying in any way even keeping a loaded gun in your vehicle was illegal so a class and some paperwork didn't seem like a big deal to me. 33 years ago concealed carry barely existed until Florida started the trend in 87 the classes and permits where the compromises that we had to make in order to get it legalized that lead to castle doctrine and stand your ground laws where would we be if we just sat around and cried saying our way or nothing? The CCW movement is probably responsible for keeping handguns legal their ubiquity led to the Heller and McDonnell rulings.

People cry about the NFA process yeah it sucks but again the government doesn't want you to own the suppressor so they lay down the hurdles hoping we will give up I want the advantages that suppressors offer so I play their game I've bought 4 cans in the time people I know have been waiting for the process to change we have tried to get the regs changed 3 times and all 3 times there was a mass shooting the same week we can sit around and cry about it or suck it up and deal with it because the rules are never going to change

That’s why we need this movement to succeed. Rules should not be put on top of our rights

I’d also like to state. Why the hell wasnt the bars allowed to be opened in “pHaSe OnE”

@TheClassyRandom because they haven't paid the briber I mean haven't made campaign contributions to the right people

Whats up everyone

What’s up

From Kenner if anyone is networking around me.

So because the rules aren't gonna change, we should just suck it up? And it's not crying about it, it's literally disobeying an unconstitutional rule put in place to make money off of you. To top it off, not obeying it isn't about the "just because" a form of government created it, but because it's a moral obligation for us to defend ourselves and NOT compromise too be able to do so.

I came from California so I've dealt with this to the extreme, and being Louisiana is a shall issue state, doesn't make it any less worse. Oh yeah, the government doesn't -

Want you to have those things, and you're right, hurdles are put in place. So we're obligated to jump them to prove them wrong? Or we can skip the nonsense and divwhatever we want because that's the way it should be, free men don't ask permission. We can continue to argue about this for weeks, but we're already seeing we have deeply rooted and very different opinions, which won't change anything.

So I'm saying, we probably shouldn't clog this chat with it. Especially since we only have one channel to talk about it. Did zoomer invite you to the Louisiana discord?

I didn't see the invite

Its small because it was created right before he helped admin here
