two....quick and practical examples, Evan (although Katrina illustrates the same point, among many others)
#1. Nazi Germany. One of the first things they did was walk over to the registered people and ask where the gun was. You were shot if you didn't produce the gun
#2. Australia around 1992. Now big on gun control: same deal (although you weren't shot, they just confiscated the gun)
Rather than ask why i don't want to register, i'd like to hear why I should want to
Having the law-abiding citizens register serves no purpose
I'm tired of the government telling me how to live my life
Too many fucking laws
If we take registration for granted today....it'll be commonplace tomorrow: accepted...allowed...required
And a few years after that, a few more restrictions and the destruction of a few more liberties
Suddenly we'll see more limits on bore and capacity...and people will grumble, but not really care since it's just a little step
the gov't has a...rude...tendency to slowly erode personal rights. You don't see them disappear....but they slowly do
