Truth be told, I'm not for any of the present laws currently on the books. Matter of fact, I don't think the government has the right to force me to register my firearms. That in and of itself is unconstitutional and infringes on gun owners rights, for the simple fact that through the registration process, the government can cull together a database on who's a gun owner and who isn't. We then get into privacy rights being infringed just on that aspect alone.
Truth be known, Montana doesn't require guns to be registered, whether it's a hunting rifle, or an AK-47. If you live in a state where you're required to register your firearms, I sympathize with you, and only regret to say, you've given up your right to privacy, and only have put yourself in the crosshairs of the federal and state government if/when the day comes where they decide to disarm the public at large.
