"Each individual has the right to self defense no matter what their IQ , or no matter how `` dumb `` they appear to be . There are set standards and `` guidelines `` most states have set up in order to determine whether or not a person `` qualifies `` to carry a gun . While I understand the purpose , and I understand what these state CCW qualifications are designed to do , I am NOT comfortable with the idea of having the state use any method to determine if I `` qualify `` for a right . Do you have to pass a qualification for free speech ? How about a test to see if you can go to church ? Do you have to fill out a questionairre to get protection from illegal search and seizure ? Each and every individual , regardless of their intelligence , should have the right to defend their lives in the most efficient manner they choose . Are there some people out there who just should n't have a gun ? Of course . There is a method used to weed these people out . When they do something illegal or truly `` dumb `` , the cops arrest them and take away their legal ability to carry . Until that time EVERYONE deserves the right to carry a gun , no matter where they fall on your personal intelligence scale ."
"Who would I trust with a firearm ? Anyone I would trust to drive a car . Until they did something to justify why they should n't have one . We are all free , until we do something that justifies the removal of our freedom . We are not born as slaves who have to qualify to receive it ."
