69. Neither banks nor the rich would be 'disarmed'

Sat May 28, 2022, 08:43 AM

May 2022

I don't see bank/armored car guards with rifles, ever. They may have access but they don't carry them.

The rich might have to make do with less. One permit per person seems adequate. If their guards need their own weapons let them apply as individuals. Point is to permit the person, not the weapon. Boss can pay for it if they want to.

Not every permit application would need to be approved.

Sure, if it comes right down to it if the technical qualities are what define a class of weapon why differentiate? Treat them all the same regardless of caliber.

For the record I am a gun owner.
