To the editor:

So Sam Brownback has made it legal for Kansans to carry concealed firearms without a permit. The governor is on a roll. What’s next? Here are a couple of thoughts on what he might next propose.

Abolish the need to get a driver’s license. Why let Big Government decide under what circumstances and at what age drivers can hit the road? Let the people decide for themselves. If they get into accidents, let the insurance companies sort things out. If the driver at fault is uninsured, well, that’s just the price we pay for freedom.

Why require hunting or fishing licenses? The pioneers didn’t need those to hunt and fish from sunup to sundown, and look at what that got them?

Next, doctors. Issuing medical licenses is a complicated procedure. People should be able to make their own decisions on choosing a physician, based on advertising. If the advertising is fraudulent, courts are there to settle lawsuits for damages.

And speaking of courts, why mess with licenses to practice law? That’s government interference with people’s right to choose. The list can go on.

Going back to guns: Someone has said that Wyatt Earp required gunslingers to check their six-shooters with him before coming into Dodge City. If true, the story would offer another example of authorities’ infringement of gun-owners’ Second Amendment rights. Wouldn’t it?
