[Vision2020] Rights, privileges and licenses

[Kai Eiselein]

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).
