20. So you believe that "the people"
means those persons who, through means from making campaign contributions to being powerful enough to bring pressure to being married to one of the staff to appealing to the conscience of the official (by being a particularly notoriously abused victim), have won the approval of a government official?

I notice that you avoided my earlier question: Do you think that every woman in Canada who has been similarly threatened would have the same likelyhood of getting a license to carry due to "demonstrated need"?

When officials get to make life and death decisions for other citizens based on vague terms like "demonstrated need" and "good moral character" there is no equal protection of the laws, nor can there be. And that would be true whether or not there was a Second Amendment.

In those unconstitutional enclaves, the officials are not answerable to the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, never mind the Second.
