Government is in the business of denying rights, not enforcing Rights.

The Rights exist, even though their paper work may claim otherwise.

Governments are force and force alone. government is a gun to your head.

The thing they fear most is guns in the wrong hands. Your hands are the wrong hands.

That is the fundamental reason, they only issue a temporary permit and have made it illegal to own guns under any other condition.

They do not fear guns in the hands of permit holders. We are few and we obey the law, regardless how onerous it is. We are the low hanging fruit that can easily be stripped of access for any reason they care to concoct.
