Those guys complain about the next guy under cutting their costs, and states doing away with permits, etc.

Wow.

I really don't think joining that would be a good idea, because I'm pretty sure my reaction would be NOT positive.

This sounds like excellent blog material, if I were a blogger. Free speech permits and training, needing government permits to practice your religion, requiring a permit to allow you to refuse quartering of soldiers, permits required to keep police from searching you without a warrant, needing a permit if you want a grand jury, needing to purchase a permit to guarantee a speedy trial, spending money on a permit to make sure you can't be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.

I think there's a very compelling argument there if someone were to flesh it out. We don't need permits for the other 9 rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, so why do people think it's reasonable to require permits and training for the Second?
