[Vision2020] Rights, privileges and licenses

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Kai,

I may spend a millisecond worrying about this legislation if it had a hope in hell of passing.  I don't think it does.

The 'Unitary Executive' approach to executive power used for the last eight years, and possibly being used by Obama poses a far more serious danger to our form of government than does legislation which isn't going to pass.

So, you don't object to having to notify the 
government of your every move? You don't object to the government having your 
photo on file so they can ID you when they hunt you down because you didn't 
notify them that you moved? You don't object to being printed before any crime 
has been committed?
Yes, I know the gov has so much information on all 
of us that "hiding" is nearly impossible. That doesn't mean they need any other 
means to track us. At this rate, it won't be long before we have to go through 
checkpoints at state lines and be required to show papers upon 
demand.
 
I don't own any firearms, so technically, I don't 
have a stake in this. In reality, it's a case of Big Brother becoming more real 
and more bullying. 
Should this legislation pass, it will make it 
easier for federal agencies to confiscate weapons that could be used against 
them, giving them even more power and taking away the people's ability to 
resist tyranny.

Kai and other 
  Visionaires,

A question was raised regarding why we should object to 
  firearms licensing since we don't (at least most people don't) object to 
  driver's licenses. Kai replied that driving was a privilege, while firearms 
  ownership is a right. I don't disagree, but this raises more questions. If 
  licenses apply only to privileges, but not to rights, what about marriage? Is 
  it a right or a privilege? I distinctly remember paying a fee for a marriage 
  license (of course, this was 48 years ago, so maybe things have changed - but 
  I'm pretty sure my wife won't let me get away with claiming that our license 
  has expired).
