This is awesome! The OP, who is afraid of his own shadow, is prepared to become an outlaw!
Let's see. What is the breaking point?
If you are forced to register your firearms, will you revolt?
If you are ordered to secure your weapons and told that you will be held accountable for any accidental shootings that result from your negligence, will you storm city hall?
If you are required to buy insurance for your firearms, will you refuse and start shooting people?
I think registering would be a trigger point for me. The NICS program that the Dems love for background checks is ANONYMOUS after a time period expires. That's to ENCOURAGE compliance. Which law abiding gun owners have no problem with at all.
But RETAINING those records would be a problem tantamount to registration.. Your turn...
Nonsense.
Although unwarranted, registration of firearms is perfectly Constitutional and not a ‘prelude’ to ‘confiscation,’ to believe otherwise fails as a slippery slope fallacy.
I don't trust the govt to keep lists that affect enumerated Constitutional Rights with no real appeal. If I could TRUST my govt to KEEP lists and be objective about them --- I MIGHT be more liberal in ceding some rights.
But as the last 7 out of 10 mass shootings SHOW --- you can't trust the govt to USE or MAINTAIN those lists worth a damn. Nearly 1/2 of MILITARY COURTS were not reporting for NICS for example. And in the Charleston case (and a couple others) the FBI outright APOLOGIZED for screwing up..
Nope. Registration is a step to confiscation.
