Well said. === Yes. All of this talk about how benign mandatory registration is, assumes that we will always have a benign government going forward. I don't think that's a good assumption at all, and meanwhile you've let the camel get his nose into the tent in a big way. There's a very real risk of making the cure worse than the problem. Ah, the "slippery slope" argument again except now it's a camel sticking his nose in your tent. :-) If mandatory registration really bothers anyone, they should never purchase a gun from a dealer. They will have to rely on private transfers or "out of the car trunk" deals at gun shows. Wayne's answer is the same one conservatives gave to oppose the abolition of slavery, to oppose child labor laws, to keep from giving women the vote, to oppose social security, to oppose medicare, to oppose the voting rights act, et cetera ad nauseum. "once you let blacks vote, their noses will be in the tent in a big way." Why should folks who can't afford an ID for voting have to go through the hassle, pay for the FFL, and provide picture ID's simply to purchase a gun? Try joining the discussion, which, until your arrival, has been relatively rancorless. |
