This is why only idiots fill out form 4473 to purchase a gun. I never and never will have my name on any such form. No one knows if I own a gun or not and that is exactly how it should be. You do not ask permission to exercise a right. It is a right, you do not need to ask first. I will never ask. I will never tell.

Do you ask permission to speak? No, and you should never have to ask permission to own a gun. Ever.
