Infringing the Right to Bear Arms- You Need a Permit to do that

The right to bear arms is infringed. A right is a power you already have that you want the government to leave alone. Governments infringed our rights so badly that now tens of millions of us can�t get the required permits to bear arms. Politicians rationalize their regulation of self-defense by wrapping their restrictions in the cloak of public safety. In fact, that cloak has often been the white sheet of racism directed against minorities and the poor.

Sometimes the racism is blatant. Sometimes it is subtle. (900 more words)
