It is not publicized, and there is no way to "prove" this. No PD is going to admit to doing this, but it is common practice for the Feds to get some sort of kickback when they give out equipment.
There is no point to suing anyone in this State. Whenever a corruption case goes to the AG, it is dismissed, so it is just a waste of time and effort.
Please sir, do not stand up for my rights. Just out of curiosity, what do you consider a legitimate reason to have a firearm? What makes your reason worth a damn and someone else's worthless? To me, "just because," should be more than adequate.
I don't trust my government if it does trust its people. "We the people," is no longer inclusive of the government.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here...
To own a firearm, and to carry a firearm in public are two totally separate issues.
If you need to carry a weapon for the "just because" factor, you don't really have much of a life. If you carry a firearm to defend yourself from injury or death, and train so that you can effectively use the weapon in the event of a scenario that would justify the use of deadly force to prevent harm to yourself or another, that would, in my mind be suitable cause for the issuance of a permit.
Instead of the overly simplified, and extremely "redneck" approach to firearms, why not be honest with yourself about why you choose to carry a weapon.
I deal regularly with the "I want ______ because I can" crowd, and none of them EVER practices with their weapon, but they carry "just in case" they can have the opportunity get into a gun fight.
I don't trust the Government either, but I am a whole lot less concerned with them knowing what I have, than I am with half of the idiots that are issued permits...
If you own weapons that fall under the purview of the NFA, you are required to pay a tax, and register your weapons with the Federal Government, and I don't see anyone screaming about that, yet the slightest mention of the fact that the State permit requirements are on the lax side, and I am suddenly a Stalinist...
I'm not even suggesting that weapons should be registered, and by no means do I like Government regulation, but we live in a complicated society that does not teach people to be responsible.

I train, I know others who do as well, and I know plenty who do not. I don't consider all training equal or even adequate, and I don't consider everyone who does not train to be inept, uneducated, or a redneck. It should not be the governments job to choose who gets to excersize what rights.
People should be up in arms over the NFA requirements, but in our political reality, we must pick our battles.
I think you found the root cause of the problem. Society has sheltered people from responsibility. Safey has trumped liberty in this aspect. People should learn consequence, and grow stronger.

Well, I for one don't like dealing with individuals that are a potential threat to me based on the fact that they don't bother to learn how to properly handle the weapon that they carry to "defend" themselves with.
But you don't mind the fact that certain people cannot meet the requirements to get a drivers license to operate a motor vehicle when all persons have the right to free travel.
In order to operate a motor vehicle, you are required to demonstrate reasonable proficiency in operating that vehicle. If you cannot operate the vehicle with some level of expertise, you cannot drive on public property (the roads,) yet, according to the courts, persons have a right to free travel....
The issue here is that at this point in time there in no way to get back to what we once had as a society.
I have thought on this issue quite a bit, and can't figure out any possible way for our society to go back to some level of personal responsibility considering our current litigious condition as a nation.

Everyone is a potential risk. Learn what to look for to minimize risk. There are a lot of things that I don't like dealing with, but tough shit for me. Life is not fair, and bad things happen to good people. We must learn to accept that once again.
I never said I approve or disapprove of driving restrictions.
I think we need to end class action lawsuits for starters. I would also like to see so many of these nanny laws removed. Why are liberals always the first to interfere with Darwin's basic principals?
