Reply #171: I doubt you'll ever get a straight answer to your question [View All]

Those who would rather have a subjective system in place of an objective one typically haven't thought through the implications of what they think they're arguing for. It's just not always possible for one person to evaluate the merits of another person's explanation of his or her needs.

Here's where the needs-based crowd goes ballistic: Confront them with whether or not the state should be liable in cases where they denied someone a permit and the applicant was subsequently robbed, raped, or murdered by the person he or she had claimed was a threat and the basis for the application.

No, we can't have the state taking responsibility for their errors. After all, Sheriff Andy or the gun board of busybodies or the Gun Czar was acting in good faith.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
