It looks more like they changed the law and are now trying to enforce that change on people who registered guns that were perfectly legal.
It is stupid to say the least and it does shoot the shit out of the whole ‘no one is taking your guns’ argument because here they are – taking this persons guns.
that is why
registration always = confiscation
I support a testing and licensing procedure similar to obtaining a driver's license.
I see no harm in requiring gun owners to take some kind of safety course then becoming licensed upon passing said course.
After all, in order to get a permit( In NC) one must submit to a background check by local or county law enforcement. For concealed carry, one must take a safety and knowledge course, show proficiency and knowledge of the firearm one will carry before the permit is issued.
for generally purchasing a firearm a criminal/mental background screening
as for concealed carry pay the ten bucks
