Ain't About Gun Control

In New York City, all you need is some “political pull” to get a “carry license.” They call it a “DiBlasio Special.” In one specific case, the license issuers were told, “These people take care of DeBlasio, so we take care of them.” So it obviously is NOT about “gun control,” it’s about being able to give gun rights to those who “take care of” the politicians. That’s the main drawback to “may issue” laws. They allow the politicians to decide who gets the constitutional right to have the means to self defense. The issuance or non-issuance of carry permits is up to the whims of the politicians then in control. Gun control is a great moneymaker for politicians, too. Not with published fees, but with the “under the table” payments people can make to the politicians to get them. It makes for wide-open corruption. And politicians are always ready to take advantage of easy corruption opportunities. One thing this does is keep out-of-town visitors from being able to use guns (legally) in self defense against all the (illegal) uses of guns. (Gun Free Zone)
