to legally own and use firearms.

For those that claim hardship due to poverty, I'm fairly certain we can make exceptions for that, maybe from the transfer fees of others.

That would be a Progressive solution, like free fishing licenses in Ohio for seniors and others:

■Persons who are mobility impaired and require the assistance of another person to cast and retrieve
■Residents of state and county institutions
■Holders of “Veteran” license plates displaying the international wheelchair symbol
■Certain veterans who are permanently disabled
■Former prisoners of war

But you better have documentation to back up your declaration.

We could make it so.
