but if the government ever wanted to round them up they sure would know where to go and get em. But, according to many, that is exactly what the government wants to do. So, whats stopping them? NRA, GOA, JPFO...[:D] If the government wanted them, surely, according to many of you, even those organizations wouldnt stop them. So, again, what is preventing the government from rounding them up? Popular support for one thing, not all police agencies are in favor of gun banning especially the rural ones. These guys have guns of their own. Even the ones that favor some of the gun control being proposed won't look forward to being the ones going door to door. The notion of gun confiscation is not some outer space Alex Jones whack job conspiracy theory. Its historical precedent, and it's not just the mass murdering whack jobs Hitler Stalin and Mao. In recent years registered guns have been seized in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK. Even in the United States, registration has been used to outlaw and confiscate firearms. In New York City, a registration system enacted in 1967 for long guns, was used in the early 1990s to confiscate lawfully owned semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. The New York City Council banned firearms that had been classified by the city as "assault weapons." This was done despite the testimony of Police Commissioner Lee Brown that no registered "assault weapon" had been used in a violent crime in the city. The 2,340 New Yorkers who had registered their firearms were notified that these firearms had to be surrendered, rendered inoperable, or taken out of the city. California revoked a grace period for the registration of certain rifles. Those who registered their guns during that period were sent letters requiring them to turn them in. The most brazen confiscation of all was in New Orleans post Katrina. The crowning jewel of ignorance "Chocolate" Mayor Naygan and his equally ignoramus police chief side kick sent out their goon squads to round up guns in affected and unaffected neighborhoods. They also had help from elements of the National Guard. After 3 years a law suite was settled requiring the guns be returned. To top all that off we have Governor Cuomo and Senator Fienstien calling for confiscation. And we're supposed to trust these people to keep their word. They tell us we're paranoid to appose registration yet as you can see, anything can happen in politics. Yes, I know we're not talking about banning all guns, were talking about all modern guns. Call me an ultra right wing whacko tin foil hat wearing nut job if ya want but as far as I'm concerned this whole gun control dialog stinks. It's illogical and unenforceable with our current law enforcement resources.
