I was listening to KVI570 the other day, and a caller claimed that police could punch in a name and age, and get a list of handguns that person owned. The host, John Carlson, doubted this and asked any listening cops to call in. Sure enough, a cop calls up and stated that the caller was correct. John asked how that was anything other than gun registration, and the cop agreed.

Is this in every state? I have been pulled over without incident. If police are called to my home...even if it is just for a noise diaturbance...will they know I am a gunowner?

I listen to the police scanner while on the computer. Yes, the dispatcher informs the patrol cars whether anyone in the house, car, or street has a weapon registered to them.

Where did they get the info? Remember. a criminal does not register guns.

Here's an experience I know of personally.

A person I know from Texas was going through Illinois on his way to the March for Liberty in Washington DC.

The March for Liberty was put together by some Freepers to let common citizens voice their opinions of our government in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and hopefully wake people up to what's going on in America and increase our numbers.

Anyway this Freeper was stopped by the police in Illinois, and during the stop the officer asked if he was carrying a gun. He thought of how things could go if he lied and decided to admit to carrying a weapon. The officer made a call on his radio, and this Freeper said within two minutes the officer knew it was his handgun.The Freeper was let go with no problems.

My point is that if the police can access this info from their computers SO CAN THE FBI. I don't trust anything coming from schumer or kennedy, there's more to this bill then they're telling. And like other unConstitutional bills that have been passed, the opposition won't be present or it will be by a show of hands and secret.
