I definitely agree with your post. Gun control legislation such as this do nothing to combat crime. It does make criminals out of law abiding citizens. Every intelligent person needs to read, "Registration: The Nazi Paradigm" by Stephen P. Halbrook, Ph.D., J.D. Hitler used gun registration to confiscate weapons from the German population which left the Jewish people helpless. Ummmm. Now let's see. Why would a government want to register firearms of law abiding citizens, or do you think all criminals are going to line up at the police stations to register. If the King of England could have confiscated arms from the colonists, we would not be a nation today. Giving up the right to bear arms is a dangerous thing, and registration of all arms is the next step. I am not a hate-mongering, conspiracy nut who is over the edge. I am a common man, working hard, paying taxes, doing my best to be a good citizen. Don't make a criminal out of me. You need to watch for two other bills that will be slipped into the works, quietly, I might add. They are about coding ammunition and ammunition with a short shelf life. Also, it is hard for me to take anti-gun idiots seriously when there are around 20,000 deaths each year in the US caused by drunk drivers like Ted Kennedy, and you don't heare a lot of crying about that.
