Bad Driver? In Debt? Proposed NYC Law Would Ban You From Owning a Gun By Diane Macedo Published October 26, 2010 | FoxNews.com
New York City residents who want to own a gun may soon be denied permits if they are litterbugs, if they are bad drivers, or if they have fallen behind on a few bills.
Under proposed revisions to the police department's handgun, rifle and shotgun permit procedures, the NYPD can reject gun license applicants for a number of reasons, including:
If they have been arrested or convicted of almost any "violation," in any state; having a "poor driving history"; having been fired for "circumstances that demonstrate lack of good judgment"; having "failed to pay legally required debts"; being deemed to lack "good moral character"; or if any other information demonstrates "other good cause for the denial of the permit."
Critics say many of the restrictions are vague, have nothing to do with one's fitness to own a gun and are unconstitutional.
Supporters say the new restrictions will make gun purchasing more efficient and don't give the NYPD any more power than it already has.
According to a Report of the Governmental Affairs Division, the changes came about as the result of two recent Supreme Court decisions...............>>>>...................>>>>...............http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010.....uns/?test=latestnews

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

In one year, the subdivision (400+ homes) I'm in has had ONE incident of crime - a teenager stealing gps's. Thankfully, I live in a very gun tolerant state (not NY) - you come into my house uninvited, prepare to exit on a stretcher.
only because we dont understand the definition of criminal and actually expect others to defend us(government)...it ain't Dodge City anymore....well,,,,,,maybe Schenectady is.........

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
