This is one of the forums for a pistol permit in my county.
First Pic, nothing out of the ordinary

Why does the government need to know my race in order to exercise my second amendment right?

Not a pro regulation person, but I will venture a guess. Identification purposes in case there is a crime involving any guns you own.
Because name, address, SSN, etc, do not provide that?Not a pro regulation person, but I will venture a guess. Identification purposes in case there is a crime involving any guns you own.
Yeah, this seems like the logical answer.

Neither does "race".They don't provide a physical description.

Not when the same charcteristics could be applied to any number of people.Combine that with height, weight, eye, and hair color it does.

You have the name, address and SSN. This is more than enough to identify the pweson in question. There is absolutely no need to ask for race, and I am rather surprised that the usual ACLU-types havent taken direct offense.But combine that with all your other info, it helps.

Criminals also rarely apply for pistol permits, and so any such information, in conjunction with the information on said pistol permits, will rarely, if ever, be useful.Criminals rarely leave their names, addresses, or SSNs at crime scenes. They're mostly identified by descriptions of height, weight, age, and race. All the descriptors could apply to any number of people, but they're still useful in combination.
Such permits are, indeed, a violation of the Constitution, as they cannot possibly pass strict scrutiny.Why do I need to be searched and have my information and biological data recorded for exercising a right?
Everything has a record-system. It's silly to suggest that any and all record systems are unconstitutional.
If my ex buys a gun, and then that gun is found at the crime scene of my murder, I ABSOLUTELY want comprehensive information about him on file. Is race necessary? No - but fingerprints, photos, tattoos, age, height, weight, address . . . all these things will help find him, you know.
