Everything they touch becomes a quagmire ruled by special interests. I don't disagree with that but what makes you think they are "out to confiscate your guns"? If it ever happened and with the government's track record, they would screw that up just like they screw just about everything else up. Pretty hard to go out and "pick up" 350 million firearms across the country. :-) === It would be very difficult. What would be easy however is to turn a lot of people into criminals just like prohibition and the war on drugs. Prohibition came about because of a concerted effort by a lot of well intentioned but misguided individuals, same with the war on drugs. Both had (have) unintended consequences far beyond what was originally envisioned. I firmy believe that increased gun legislation would end up the same way. Greg makes some good points about registration leading to taxation. |
