Yes, i understand the gun thing, ok, I got it. I'm from a gun ownin' and totin' family. I'm sorry, but I just don't see what the big deal is.
yea, another regulation. got it, that sucks, sniff, sniff... are you alluding to "if they can register my guns, they have the ability to take them? " is that where you're going?
c'mon. you have to register your handguns now, you have to get the background check now.
is this about a :"licence" to own guns? you have to have one for conceal and carry, where its allowed, so, whats the big deal?
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.

1) No you do NOT have to register your handguns. I have several, they are not "registered". They never were. I went through a background check and that is all.
2) it IS a big deal. Period. No New Gun Laws. Period. The guns in your hands are mine are not the problem. Enforce CRIMINAL LAWS and get criminals off the streets, don't create "new criminals" by criminalizing them.
3) I don't need a concealed carry permit to carry a weapon. I need one to carry it CONCEALED. There's a difference. Right now, I can put my weapon on and go anywhere I want (in my state) except for Federal buildings or courthouses pretty much. Don't need a license, permit, registration or anything else. (Other states arent like that)
4) The Second Amendment clearly states we have a right to keep and bear arms. ANY attempt to infringe that right is INFRINGEMENT, period, plain and simple.
5) Yes, once your guns are registered, they can easily be FOUND and TAKEN from you if the government orders.
Ben Franklin, through his Poor Richard's Almanac said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Stopping BAD laws like this is the ounce of prevention.
So it does wash in the end.
