Nebraska = Rights violators

I love how being able to carry a concealed weapon problem is that kids and crazy hicks are just gonna be running around shooting each other and killing people left and right.  to get a permit for a concealed weapon you have to go through classes have a background search pass a test and qualify. be 21+, pay a min of $150 i believe, not be convicted or placed on diversion at anytime for felony, misdemeanor of domestic violence, be court ordered for drug or alcohol abuse assistance, have a restraining order on you currently in place, be in contempt of child support, etc.... lets just say its not an easy thing to do, you cant just run down to the court house and pick one up on your lunch break cause Jimbo your neighbors dog crap in your garden again and your gonna teach him a lesson.

people who say these things are the ones that think if the drinking age is set back to 18 that it will be a drunkin riot in the streets forever with 18 yr old drunk drivers mowing over pedestrians daily and wrecking there lives... it will be viewed as the law change is the problem. the people who believe this are flat stupid and have blinders on. if you want booze now at any age you can get it, trust me.

Not a high bar.

The class costs $150.  The permit is around $350. 

$500 license to kill....i'm in!

You can get a knife for $5.  You probably already have one.  A car too.

Guns are much more efficient for everyday life, and if I run over someone in my car it will probably cost over $500 to fix

Gallon of gas will burn down a whole nursing home.   Way more efficient than all those costs.  Less than $4. 

Some of this is really common sense.  Do you struggle with that?

Really a gallon of gas is all it takes? I need to rethink the way I go about things from now on.

This is a pretty stupid post. No way is this more efficient, and I think it would take more than a gallon of gas. Not sure though. Will have to get back to you.

I found a little 22 pistol I wanted to buy and shoot when I go back to my family's farm and when I go to buy it the guy tell me I need a permit to purchase a handgun in Nebraska.  It's $5.  So I have him put it on hold.  Cabela's holds guns for 5 days.  So I go to the sheriff's office and they close at 4.  They are only open from 8:30-4 M-F to get permits.  I work during those hours every single stinking day.  Once I get my permit by mail I'm supposed to take it to the Omaha Police department to register it (Gestapo.)  At which point they'll mail it to the dealer who will deliver the gun to me.  OMFG!  How am I supposed to get that done before my gun goes off of hold.  It's a used gun, and therefore, will not be able to be purchased at that price again.

So What do you want Nebraska?  People to own guns responsibly or buy them off of the street?  Now that I'm a resident I cannot buy a gun in Kansas.  Basically Nebraska and the City of Omaha have taken away my 2nd Amendment Rights.  I will not possibly be able to go during their hours until April.  To do the correct thing you have to go through hoops and then pay for the opportunity to do it.  If the government wants people to register weapons they should make it a more accessible system.  In Kansas it takes less than an hour to buy a gun if your are legally able to do so.  And it's only the responsible citizen who are paying to do things legally.  So instead of being a crime deterrent it's basically a tax.  Can anyone say Jim Crow Laws?  It's on more of a class level than a race one.

Seriously? Seriously?

Doom: Hey boss can I have an extra 15 minutes added on to my lunch break to get a gun?

Boss: Oh God, if I say no he's going to shoot me once he get's that gun.   I guess I have to say yes.

Obviously.

You can't just run in and get a driver's license anytime of day you want either.

Gotta love the "I'm special and the world should cater to me" types.

If you want a gun you can get a gun.

So what if you have a crapty job that won't let you off to get the needed permits?  Maybe you should have stayed in school and got a better job.

[CatsNChiefs]

Your job sucks.  You should totally quit.  Maybe you could be a cop?  Two birds dude.
