The 2nd Admendment is a (supposed) right that is not equal for everyone [View all]
It costs money and for some, it's a right they cannot afford to exercise.
Here is some info from a post I made a few years ago:
"RUGER SP101 .357MAG $395.00
RUGER SP101 holster (Amazon.com) $20.74
Speedloader DBL Pouch with 3 Loaders for .38/357(Ebay) $25.00
Federal Premium .357 Mag ammo $24.00 for a 20 round box
Tula Cartridge Works .357 ammo $18.00 for a 50 round box
PMC .357 ammo $400.00 1000 rounds
MBI .38 Special ammo $290.00 1000 rounds (.38 Special rounds can be fired in a .357 Magnum gun)
NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course $75.00
NRA Basic Personal Protection In The Home Course (satisfies MI CPL training requirement) $90.00
NRA FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation (satisfies WI CPL training requirement) $100.00
NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside The Home Course $200.00
MI Concealed Pistol Application fee $105.00
WI Concealed Pistol Application fee $50.00
Range fees
Action Impact Gun Range & Firearms Store in Southfield MI (near Detroit).
Gun range fee $10.00 per 1/2 hour
MI CPL Certification course $99.00
Handgun rental $10.00
The store gives a limited amount of free range time if one purchases a qualifying gun there.
The more experienced here could give some ideas as to how often one should go to a gun range to practice, how long they should be there and about how much ammo one can expect to shoot each time. "
Freedom of speech, from unreasonable searches, the right to a fair and speedy tria, letc. costs nothing.
Can the 2nd Amendment be argued that it is a right equal for all when there are mandated government and also private costs attached to it which thus prevents some from exercising the supposed right?
