<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1634032, member: 34005&quot;]Well, apparently enough people got scammed enough to warrant a bill and ordinance to protect themselves from con artists.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, DNA samples would be a little far fetched but fingerprints aren&#039;t a big deal to me. You&#039;re leaving them all over the shop anyways by entering the store. To me it&#039;s not different than leaving your photograph as a way to identify you and fingerprints are unique, mug shots aren&#039;t so unique. It&#039;s hard to tell between us ugly schmucks at times.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But rights aren&#039;t being taken away, no one is forcing you to sell PMs, that&#039;s a choice. It&#039;s just like flying, it&#039;s not a right, it&#039;s a privilege. You chose to give up your rights to be screened when you bought your ticket, it&#039;s right there in the fine print. No one isn&#039;t saying you can&#039;t sell your PMs so your freedom isn&#039;t being stripped, it&#039;s just being regulated. Just like the laws that state you can&#039;t carry a concealed gun or weapon into liquor stores, don&#039;t like the rules, then don&#039;t go to liquor stores if you don&#039;t want to leave your gun at home to get your bottle of booze. That&#039;s just how I see it. I&#039;m all for freedoms and basic rights but sometimes I think there&#039;s more important things to worry about honestly. Taking your photograph or fingerprints doesn&#039;t harm you and it&#039;s not stripping you of any rights. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just like this forum, there is no freedom of speech here even though we have freedom of speech according to our Constitution. I can go on and on but hopefully most of you understand what I&#039;m trying to say here. I just think too many people get their panties all knotted up over the simple things. To me, if you want to sell and that takes a photo and fingerprints in the city of Houston, move or don&#039;t sell PMs. Nobody is forcing you to sell PMs, that&#039;s why it&#039;s not you losing your basic rights because basic rights are what I said before, a right to live, eat and breathe are basic, selling metal in a world that should be regulated to protect people is not a basic right. Basic rights are rights that lie outside of a choice being made.</p><p><br /></p><p>If by saying selling PMs is a basic right, then one could argue everything is a basic right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve said all that I can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
