Some major cities in the United States routinely make it - for citizens - extraordinarily difficult, very expensive and extremely time consuming to exercise our Rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.
For example, in Chicago, a citizen who has committed NO crime whatsoever must pay upwards of $100, submit to an embarrassing fingerprint process and wait nearly a month to obtain a Firearms Permit to obtain a handgun. In New York City, citizens must pay almost $400, submit fingerprints, pay notary fees, submit to an interview and wait weeks to months to obtain a similar Permit. Both cities also charge a registration fee.
NO law abiding citizen should have to PAY for any of their rights GUARANTEED by our Constitution. This practice must cease immediately.
