The only purpose of registration is to enable confiscation.
No, it also enables direct taxation. It will start as a
"reasonable"registration fee and then, just like car tags, it will
become another profit center for the cities and states.
Just like cigarette taxes, those without any guns will have no problem
allowing the tax to increase to prohibitive levels. You only have to
look at some of the taxes proposed so far, like the nickel a bullet
tax proposed in California, the $25 a gun tax in Chicago and the 5%
excise tax on everything shooting related in New Jersey.
Once a tax structure is in place, raising the tax is virtually a
stroke of a bureaucrat's pen.
It's already happening in DC, and you can bet the amounts for
registration, re-registration, and finger printing won't be going down
- unless an honest Republican gets elected Mayor.
(I'd say 'honest Democrat', but that's an oxymoron. Harry'd catch me
on that.)
