I also said "maybe your town, but not in mine". When my dept. works a checkpoint, they are only interested in DUI's. I don't know what Lafayette does. I know they are only legal for sobriety.
Good talk gents, stay safe.
In your opinion, all mentally ill folks and convicted felons should be allowed to own firearms then?
Do you think background checks won't be tailored to get the outcome that the government wants, especially when they don't have to reveal why you were disqualified? There is a level of trust...
I'm not sure where the disconnect is!
I never said limiting everybody, I said "some people", meaning individuals!
