"Uncle Sam trusts David Bardfield to carry a firearm, but the town of Brookline doesn't seem to have the same faith in the Army specialist.
"According to Bardfield, 28, Brookline police last month denied him a gun license because his name appeared in a police incident report when he was a teenager - even though he was not arrested at the time."
Not arrested, not charged, not tried and not convicted. Plus he's a member of the armed forces.
Yep--sounds like the type of person we don't want to let have a gun.
This, of course, is the inevitable result of licensing a right.
It's also a good real-world example to throw back in the face of anti-gun liars who claim they only want "reasonable, common-sense gun control," and that anyone who objects to licensing and registration must have something to hide.
