And you and I both know so-called gun registration is the first step toward TOTAL GUN CONFISCATION!
Repeat until the murder rate declines 50%~
Oh, and leave everybody else alone. BTW, no need to do that body cavity search on Feinstein ~

by what Constitutional authority does the fedgovt regulate or restrict or limit or do anything at all with arms sales or ownership rights of American citizens?
Policy’s what? What belongs to policy?
Is that anything like ‘reasonable policies’?
If and when the penalty for possessing a semi-auto “prohibited” weapon is the same as possessing a full-auto “prohibited” weapon, the choice will be clear.
It’s the classic Hegelian Dialect. The outcome has already been determined.
The E-pubs bitched and moaned to put up a good fight but did nothing after, Hell, they are even funding it without a whimper. These people are cut from the same cloth. The only thing they are fighting over is who is going to be in charge when it is over.
Only someone with totalitarian plans would try to make laws like this.
Sorry to bother you, but there is an issue with the link I think.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily given the political realities going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors totally illegal.”

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
