Me:
"I went to register for a permit" = "infringement"
"need to wait the 14 days or so" = "infringement"
"You can be denied without ever having been arrested." = "infringement"
What I'm saying is that these requirements or any pre-conviction or pre-committment behavior being considered as grounds for denial are violations of individual civil rights.
That is, to make it plain, they are "infringements" on your rights and violate the highest law of the land.
Some folks are so used to these plain infringements and violations of their constitutional rights that they do not see the above instances as anything out of the ordinary and will allow the plain english language of the constitution to be watered down to suit current fancy, fiat, and fashion.
Sir, having to register for a permit is unconstitutional on its face.
And having to wait 14 days is unconstitutional on its face.
And being denied without having been properly adjudicated as incompetent or criminal is, also. Note the word "properly," which is another issue.
