Activists involved in the state-wide boycott against the unconstitutional statute who spoke to the Post almost taunted authorities, saying gun owners would essentially dare authorities to “come and take it away.”

Probably a third column. The law requires registration so suggesting resistance to confiscation is premature at best. The best way to resist registration is to actually resist registration.

Even Canadian gunowners broke the back of their national gun registration system by not registering their firearms. it’s been abolished.

Canada lost this battle, with a much smaller population and a much more oppressive (at the time) federal government.

We didn’t leave the Old Country to be punks and fags.

“The law requires registration so suggesting resistance to confiscation is premature at best.”

In Australia the government said, “Okay, you can own gun, but you have to register it.” When the legally owned guns were registered, they went door to door and took them away. I’ve seen pictures of dump trucks filled with guns; some of them probably worth thousands of dollars. They crushed them all.

An Israeli friend told me that, yes, you can own a gun in Israel, but it’s a pain in the *ss. (You can only own in certain areas, BTW.) You have to register it and maintain strict requirements, like yearly continuing education. He owned a gun, but fell behind on the requirements and the authorities showed up at the door and confiscated it.
