uhhh, so how is this any different than say... registering your car? or boat?
|
The difference as I see it Paul, is that having a car or a boat is not a protected right. And I see it as a slippery slope when the government starts setting a bunch of conditions on rights.

c'mon. you have to register your handguns now, you have to get the background check now.

Not in Washington State. We don't have any laws that would require people to register printing presses either.

"if they can register my guns, they have the ability to take them? " is that where you're going?

Yes, in a nut shell, but back to the title, would it bother you if it wasn't guns and the government required you to obtain a license before you could express opinions on the internet?

Please don't run with... "If it happens here, whats next, you'll need a license to have a TV?", cuz that just don't wash.

That's where I was runnin' to and if you say that the government would never start regulating other rights, well, that's good enough for me. Doh! They're talking about limiting conservative talk show by bringing back the Fairness Doctrine on that other thread. T.V. is probably safe though.
