Then why the great call for "registration"? How is knowing where I live going to make anyone safer? Unless of course, you plan to stop by and pick up a few things.
Probably because polling consistently shows that 70 percent or more of Americans want a registration.

That's filibuster proof, baby.

Really?

And how does this translate into law?

Polls trump "Bill of Rights"?

You only need to look back at history to see how the above is factual.

Really....what makes you lefties feel that our government is so benign?
So what do you think the government will do if it gets our guns? Start killing school children?

oh wait....private citizens with guns are already doing that. hmm...

The real question you gun fondlers need to ask is, "How are we contributing to the growing atmosphere of hostility towards gun ownership?"

Unfortunately, you won't do that, you'll just grow more absurd. I don't know what will be next. Arming high school students? Mandatory gun ownership? It's hard to say, but it's bound to be something that normal people will find bizarre and stupid and will turn more people against gun ownership.
