Except that we are all not part of the militia... -----Original Message----- From: LRS Scout [mailto:lrssc...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 11:58 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Possible Executive Action - Gun Control
You know what? If we added a class/license requirement that was free and didn't require registration or records, and removed ALL firearms restrictions, to include machine guns and destructive devices; I could support such a change. I think that ALL citizens are the militia and that requiring training makes sense, you could even do it at school, as was once the case here. Required drilling and training just makes sense, and can be done in a manner that wouldn't restrict legal access to firearms.
