Most far reaching will be this national database. Guess what DB's do best? They grow at rates that would shame a whole fleet of rabbits. This DB will be a nice place to build profiles. The possibilities are endless (and scary).

Looks like it will take effect in May 08, if Hitlery wins I don't know wtf I will do.

We've seen the beginnings of this in Chicago and Maryland. Maryland is a good example - during the sniper attacks a while back, various police agencies were wanting to investigate every single gun owner they could turn up. I remember an article about various Chicago politicians and law enforcement personnel, wanting a way to find everybody that might be armed.

You talk about profiles - five, ten years from now, or further out, as this thing grows, pertinent information will be added, even if it's outside of the original scope, such as gun ownership "hrmm, umgud belongs to the NRA according to their credit card receipts, and they subscribe to Guns & Ammo, we need to put them on a special list".

Hell, you could set off a flag if your traveling somewhere, if this thing grows like we expect it to (and only somebody who hasn't been around the government and has no clue about what goes on in Washington, would think that this thing wouldn't grow).

I don't know what's scarier, what something like this could ultimately become, or the people who trust the politicians and can't comprehend what this sort of thing could become.
