And the gun nuts tremble in fear when you put restrictions on their gunz... Gotta love the gunz and godz crowd....
See how easy it is to generalize?
Actually, I was pretty specific. At least that was my intention. Pardon me if I was ambiguous, in the type of people I was referring to. The ones who just can't stand the second amendment, get apoplectic at the thought of ANYONE having personal firearms, use termswith sexual connotation to describe everyone who owns guns. Them folks.
That's being far less general than you. And, the fact remains, the SO in this OR location, and a few others , from the look of things, is still not going to enforce this law, so dear to the hearts of the aforementioned, types I degeneralized. . Should I just say "nanny nanny boo boo"? Terms that leftist, anti gun Looney tunes, can understand better.
I know it's a right wing belief that Obama does all these unconstitutional things, but it's simply not true. It's up to the Supreme Court to decide that and there's a reason why no one has actually tried to impeach Obama.
How do you verify ownership of a gun which has never been registered? There are millions of heirloom firearms in this country which have been passed down from generation to generation and which have never been registered. Again, logic states that keeping someone from selling one of these firearms to another individual is the next thing to impossible. So, again, how do you enforce this law without putting an officer in every home?
By hoping those folks do the right thing and register their firearms?

BTW, don't bother suggesting a national registry. The likelihood of getting one
is about the same as the likelihood that gun bans will stop criminals from
owning firearms.
Criminals will always break the laws, do our murder, robbery, and rape laws prevent them from happening? So what's your point?
A national registry would be a smart step, but I agree it's not likely.

ETA: You are correct in part though. The law was not meant to be enforced. It's just another example of feel-good legislation which gives the anti-gun crowd a chance to say "Look, we did something about guns," even though the law is absolutely unenforceable.
It would be enforcible if people would voluntarily register. But paranoia and NRA membership seems to be correlated.

Hate to break it to you, but Obama and Holder both stated their intention to not enforce certain federal laws. Constitutional or not, you can't push to hold one person on a local level accountable for doing something that the so-called leader of the country is also doing - unless you also call for said leader to be held accountable. Doing so makes you a hypocrite.
Have you ever considered your beliefs might be incorrect......?
