House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, announced last week that she wants to register guns. Her next move will be to try to confiscate them.
The speaker picked a television show with a viewership of 4.6 million to float the Democrats' coming gun-control push. Questioned on ABC's "Good Morning America" about the prospect of new gun-control laws now that "it's a Democratic president, a Democratic House," she responded, "We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered."
Politicians and bureaucrats routinely claim that registration helps solve crimes. If a registered gun is used in a crime and left at the crime scene, registration supposedly lets the police trace the gun back to the criminal. Though this turn of events might work on fictional TV crime shows, it virtually never occurs in real life. Criminals' guns are rarely left at crime scenes. When guns are left behind, it usually is because a crook has been seriously injured or killed and the police are poised to catch him anyway. . . . .

Prozac Joe is down and feeling like a shooting spree, but his gun is registered. What will he do? He knew he shouldn’t have registered that gun, but he was up at the time, high on 0bama and change. But wait. Things are really bad. Registered or not, Joe is going to do it, and then he will do himself. Yeah, that’s the ticket. See if a registered gun can stop him.
Registration is good for one thing, ...confiscation. All the commies know it.
Might be cheaper than you think in far west Texas, just BYOB if you want water :)
Just as soon as the democrats start with gun confiscation in California, I'll be in line to register my guns.
She needs to first get California to have a gun ban. Take all the guns away from everybody in California and insure that they work properly and are registered.
Then they should do the same thing in New York.
Let's see how things work out and maybe keep trying it in all the democrat controlled areas of the country.
And having no water in west Texas is the problem.
I live on Lake Michigan and nothing will get me to live in a dry, remote place.
Don’t have to live there, just have your own range :)
She wants to register your gun so that they will know who has a gun once it comes time to confiscate them.
Confiscation: That's what she really wants.
Canada tried such a pervasive gun registration system. They spent $2B on it, it did nothing useful, vast portions of the population refused to comply, and the registration system is now being dismantled.
MOLON LABE
If they want a f*****g war, then come try to take our guns.
Just try it, libs.
Full scale war in America—Americans killing Americans—GUARANTEED!
Illegal immigrants?
Verified voters' residences?
Gifts from foreign nationals to political figures?
Ohhh.... guns.
Our rights, our fortunes, our lives.
Our forefathers pledged exactly those. We owe it to them to do the same.
I find that very hard to believe. Do you have support for this claim?
No. I will not comply with an arbitrary and capricious registration scheme.
They tried this in Canada. Non-compliance was so high they just gave up on it.
That distant thunder is getting louder.
The time to loose the fateful lightning is almost upon us...
Screw her.
......that thing about, if you need more than three guys to move, serve, and shoot it.
Not counting the forward observer.
