They're basically saying "hey you - with the $250 permit fee written in nice neat letters on your check. Wanna buy a gun? Oh, you might have been arrested for beating all three of your previous wives? Nah don't worry about it. Just don't put that on the application form, we won't be checking you out anyway. Here. Have a gun, and a nice day."

That is the NRA in a nutshell, now. A far cry from what it once was.
Wow, the misinformation in this post.
