Let's scrap state permits and have one national permit issued from Washington! We can combine it with the unified national driver's license which will also indicate whether or not you are an organ donor (don't worry - you will be whether you want to or not). The same standards for NYC and Nome. What could be better? Some small print that says that in exchange for the permit you give the government the right to inventory your weapons twice a year? We should also push for the elimination of law enforcement below the national level. State, county, city police would become local offices of the FBI. Just think how much we could save by having uniform uniforms. I'm in favor of a brown shirt myself. We can put the savings into Obamacare. Perhaps a new computer program that determines whether your miserable life is worth the cost of saving. Maybe keeping your voting registration with your medical chart would be useful - any evidence of supporting the Tea Party types would entitle you to a free mental health screening. Yep, once we start putting more and more power into the hands of the wizards of smart in D.C., all will be well. The insight and great ideas that emanate from this board never cease to amaze me.
I like Uncle Ted's saying about a national permit, "The 2nd Amendment, of the Bill of Rights is my conceal carry permit. Period!"
