Navajo Nation considers implementing gun registration

Navajo Nation Tribal Council officials are reviewing a proposal that would require tribal land residents to register their firearms.

The Daily Times reports the proposed bill would require residents to register firearms such as automatic guns, rifles and shotguns to the Navajo Nation Police Department.

The bill would allow the police department to maintain a registry which would include the firearm's serial number, registration date and the owner's name and address. If measure is passed, current gun owners would have 180 days from the bill's approval to register their guns with police. New gun owners would have 180 days from the gun's purchase date.

Delegate Davis Filfred says the measure would create accountability for gun owners and make identifying gun owners easier for police.

Sheesh. I mean Yah-Tah-Hay! (SP) I guess they can do whatever the wish. Or whatever the tribal counsel decides.

If it passes, gun grabbers will be using it as an example every time the subject of gun control comes up...

ROTFL. The NNPD. The “registry” will be lost or misplaced within 180 days.

How long does this nonsense continue? Having a sovereign nation within a sovereign nation doesn’t work. They are either citizens of the USA or they are not.

You're right. A Democrat Congress would pass a bill declaring the entire country to be part of the Navajo Nation.

“How long does this nonsense continue? Having a sovereign nation within a sovereign nation doesn’t work. They are either citizens of the USA or they are not.”

They are not a sovereign nation. They can’t issue passports. They are U.S. citizens.

They control their land the way cities and states control their land.

Big mistake on their part. They receive a lot of Federal money and it will be on the line.
