My two cents:
I'm uncomfortable with the Federal Government having anything to do with gun laws pertaining to private ownership for lawful purpose. I think this should be left up to individual states to hash out. Open this can of worms more then it already is and things can get messy especially considering the POTUS abusing that position if he wanted stricter gun control. I'm not quite as paranoid over BO's intentions as some in the gun toting world are but I do feel if he had the authority he would enact some pretty restrictive gun control measures. So let's keep the feds out of gun regulation for the lawful possessor. It's bad enough we can no longer buy new F/A weapons and have to fill out pointless paperwork and endure long waits just to have MG's that are nearly 30 years old along with SBR's and suppressors.
Last thing we need is MORE gun legislation when half the laws already on the books are contradictory, convoluted and restrict only people that want to lawfully and safely possess.
Hear, hear.
A Federal permit is gun control.
