First, I apologize for duplicating what some others have said and preaching to the choir but legislation such as this angers me to the point I must vent. Proposal of gun laws like this strengthen my resolve to oppose and violate any such law should it ever be passed in my state. Now, what happens when a non-resident passes through the state carrying a weapon legal in both his home state and end destination? And of course, how many criminals will comply? Another play we’ve seen on this is the requirement for additional insurance should you own guns. Again, just another effort to be able to track gun owners just like the background check for private sales. Surely they can’t think we are fooled by these emotionally charged, feel good laws designed to void the Second Amendment.
With all the registration and confiscation proposals out there, it makes private sales much more tempting. I now believe the best weapons are those that cannot be traced to you. I predict mass transfers and losses of guns via private sales, boating accidents, fires, etc. will become the norm. In the meantime, I call on all gun supporting organizations to get together to oppose these laws and those who propose such legislation, regardless of party. We need to find strong pro-Second Amendment candidates willing to stand up and propose legislation protecting the rights of those 99% plus gun owners who are responsible and law abiding.
Point out that your weapons aren’t “illegal”, they’re just “undocumented”.
