96. Like I ahve said many times
If it walks like a duck

It it quacks like a duck

it probably is a duck.

Just because it doesnt come out right as say 'Blacks can not own firearms' or 'the poor cannot get a carry permit', if the law in effect does do exactly that then the law is racist and/or elitist.

Which is exactly what alot of the gun control laws across the country do, they are attempts to keep the poor and the 'undesrieable' from exercising their rights. Any 'may issue' law does exactly that, any law which levees a fee for either a permit, or a 'FOID' or whatever does exactly that.

But it seems just like the old 'seperate but equal' laws some people are willing to turn a blind eye to that as long as they agree with the substance of the law.
