BANG!

What's the use? if you practice religion the state will strip you of religion, if you speak out about sin, you will be arrested for hate speech, your land can and will be taken away at the whim of the state, and the FBI will already know you had a gun and have long since confiscated it on the grounds you aledgely might do something with it, and should you try to pack your cash and run the police can stop you and confiscate the cash on the ground they think you've got too much of it, they won't be obligated to report this since they didn't officially arrest you and you weren't officially charged.

Criminals and terrorists do not buy their weapons legally and try not to leave a paper-trail.

[Peach]

Is OUR Republican majority behind this bill? Please tell me they are not?

[umgud]

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. (THR)

When the organizations that advocate the 2nd. Amendment, such as GOA, NRA, CGOA, CRPA, etc. begin to discourage its members and their families from joining the US military, Yes a boycott, this BS will stop. If the federal and state governments want our sons and daughters to carry rifles in the name of the Constitution, then the government can honor that Constitution, or resort to conscription. In that case, I'll send my kids to Canada.

No guns for citizens, no sons for the service

NO GUNS! NO SONS!

This is exactly why I don't trust Republicans any more than I trust Democrats. Let me know when the Republicans grow some gonads and come out STRONGLY for the Second Amendment. I don't believe it will happen in my lifetime.

[Zeroisanumber]

Heh... Poring over library check-outs and sneek & peek warrants without judicial review are all OK, but the minute that the FBI decides that it wants to check gun purchases FReepers start screaming about the death of the republic.

Good to see that we have our priorities straight.

[plain talk]

I'm not sending squat. I'm OK with the Patriot Act. While I oppose this provision, I own no guns. I have got other letters to write and this is further down the list. Sorry.

[George Smiley]

It really doesn't matter because the Ay Tee Eff is wired into their cash registers; the owner info and serial numer is entered there.

[newgeezer]

From the moment the background checks and their "temporary" paper trail began, we all knew it would come to this.

Sooner or later, we'll get what's coming to us. It's inevitable.

[mysterio]

Hug a libertarian today. We've been telling you since 2001 that they would use this act to undercut the Second Amendment as well as the others. Maybe now some of you will listen.

[NJ_gent]

With the way things have been going recently, I honestly wouldn't be shocked if someone from the future came back and told me there was another civil war in the US by 2010. Our government seems to get bolder every day; allowing illegals and terrorists alike into the country unchallenged, taking away our rights to privacy, taking away the right to own property, and preparing to take away our guns. Who do we elect to stop all of this? Where is the viable party that will put an end to this madness? Democrat and Republican; a rose by any other name... If we have no one else to elect - no one who is on the side of the people - then what else can we do?

[Joe Brower]

I am continuing to compile a list of FreeRepublic folks who are interested in RKBA topics. FReepmail me if you want to be added.

Conversely, if you want off my ping-list, let me know.

And my apologies for any redundant pings.

[Chode]

and don't forget- every dealer that goes out of business, has to turn over all his yellow sheets to the govt... so, every gun you ever bought from a guy that later went out of business is already in their DataBase.

[Doctor Stochastic]

If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.

It's for The Children.

[Hank Rearden]

Gee, a Republican screwing individual liberties and freedom?

I'm shocked.

But you'll all vote for them again next time, won't you?

[blam]

I'll never give up my guns. Any law that says I must is illegal.

[linkinpunk]

Not to worry.

The Supreme Court would never allow this.

[mr_hammer]

Where is the NRA on this?
