    No. In my state you cannot unless you pay for the classes , fingerprinting and background checks , etc…

    Do not get me wrong I am for classes , and background checks.

    I don’t believe those should cost the prospective owner though.

    Now if there was no cost and those were required, I wouldn’t say a word. I hope my point is a bit clearer

      That’s sounds like, yes, with extra steps. I understand not liking the extra steps, but they aren’t unconstitutional.

      Your point is clear, but not supported by the Constitution. Taxes and fees, by themselves, aren’t prohibition of freedom. Poll taxes are, as they are specifically called out as outlawed by the Constitution.

        But quite frankly in this timeline it doesn’t matter trump and his Nazi cronies will do as they please
