I loved this quote, even if the spelling was not his
“I believe every gun owner should require a permit,” said Darrell Bouldin, the second vice chair of the Rutherford County Democratic Party. “And I believe that we should have even stricture gun-control laws where anyone who applies should have a complete background check and be denied said permit if they have a criminal background or have a background of instability of some kind.”

He probably means mentally unstable, as in someone capable of mass murder, but I doubt he had thought through the potential of being labeled unstable himself using such open wording. This is where I side a bit with conspiracists (well, more siding with constitutionalists), because an opposing, ruling political party could decide they don't agree with HIS views and strip away his rights to defend himself. Heck, they could do what England did with gays after WW2 and screw over one of the greatest cryptoanalytical minds in history (Alan Turing) who literally saved millions of lives by breaking the Nazi's maritime Enigma machine. Gun rights shouldn't be just for white, right-wing conservative christian fundamentalists. Our forefathers saw that.

Well, that's a start, you two. Yer headed in the right direction instead of the left direction. :)
