I am 100% for gun registration…

Not trying to be the sober voice in this discussion, but we went through the same wailing and gnashing of teeth during the Clinton years. True, we had the AWB in effect, but during that whole time, I never met a gun shop owner who told me he couldn’t sell me a black rifle. To the contrary, I met plenty who said they’d be happy to sell me all I wanted to buy for about two and a half times what they were actually worth. 🙄

This is just the part of the Obama stimulus package that benefits the firearms industry. 😆

IMHO, don’t look for any anti-gun legislation until after Wall Street gets its head out of its ass.

National Gun Registration: The Road to Tyranny
by Miguel A. Faria, Jr.

Unbeknownst to many Americans, who have seen and experienced mostly the goodness of America, gun registration is the gateway to civilian disarmament, which often precedes genocide. In the monumental book Lethal Laws* we learn that authoritarian governments that conducted genocide and mass killings of their own populations first disarmed their citizens. The recipe for accomplishing this goal was: demonizing of guns, registration, banning and confiscation, and finally total civilian disarmament. Enslavement of the people then followed with limited resistance, as in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba, and other totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

When presented with these deadly chronicles and the perilous historic sequence, Americans often opine that it cannot happen here. As to the dangers of licensing of gun owners and registration of firearms, they frequently retort, “If you don’t have anything to hide, then you don’t have anything to fear!” Followed by, “I see nothing wrong with gun registration because we have to do something; there are just too many guns out there that fall into the wrong hands.” These naïve attitudes ignore the penchant of governments to accrue power at the expense of the liberties of individuals.

Civilian disarmament is not only harmful to one’s freedom but also counterproductive in achieving safety. That has been further attested by University of Hawaii Professor R. J. Rummel’s Death by Government (1994) and Stéphane Courtois’s edited volume, The Black Book of Communism (1999). These books make it clear that authoritarianism and totalitarianism are dangerous to the health of humanity. During the twentieth century, more than 100 million people were killed by their own governments bent on destroying liberty and building socialism and collectivism.

I can personally testify that when Cubans lost their guns in 1959 they also lost their ability to regain freedom. Thus today, Cubans on the other side of the Florida Strait remain enslaved in what was supposed to have been the dream of a socialist utopia, the ultimate Caribbean Worker’s Paradise. What they ended up with was the nightmare of a police state in a communist island prison.

Although with the new administration in Washington, registration may not be a politically viable option, other freedom-eroding legislation remains a real concern, particularly if hidden among the scores of bills passed by Congress year after year. Americans must vigilantly protect their sacred liberties, which are threatened, for example, by the closing of gun shows with burdensome regulations, rationing lawful gun purchases, and banning the importation of certain firearm accessories. Laws should be directed against criminals and felons, and should be referred to as crime control rather than gun control.

Here’s the full story

Historicaly, gun registration is the precursor to gun control. He who would choose security over personal rights deserves neither.

I’ll take some o rings 😉

Crap, not the way to do it and it would seem we (the USA) are heading down the same path… 👿

I hope the NRA has some serious pull, this doesn’t look like it is going to end well…

I forwarded this to the local administration and I got a response from the president of the US and the governors of all the states in the union. Apparently they have been expecting this…

Dear mister Revwarnut, laws are meant to stick it to the law abiding, hard working, tax paying citizens.

You should know this, we have been sticking it to you personally for quite some time now and amazingly you have stuck with it way past the point of any ordinary man.

To our dismay you won’t sign up for food stamps and welfare… Obviously your an independent thinker and under these current political times that is a threat to the national security of this country.

The law you propose would mean that someone would actually have to do their job… Mainly the police and law enforcement.

Sorry we can’t have that, haven’t you seen just how bad the state’s finances are, if we pay these people to actually work we will go bankrupt.

It is much easier on a state level to just ask for a handout from all this crime. We know if we restrict the sale of guns we will have more crime. More crime equals more funding, and we can use that funding for travel and entertainment, not employee compensation. Therefore this new bill is in the states best interest.

We as the political ruling class know what is best for the slaves, err I mean citizens and we wouldn’t want people to think they can protect themselves when the government does such a good job (cough 9/11)…

Plus how else could we fuck you over and avoid any type of retaliation…

Here for you the citizen, as always, your helpful government.
