If someone told you he had been forced to provide the Pennsylvania State Police with their fingerprints, photograph, Social Security number and a host of other personal information, you'd probably assume they were arrested and charged with a crime.
Well, that kind of police ''booking'' process could be in store for Pennsylvania's roughly 3 million firearms owners if gun-control advocates in Harrisburg have their way.

They are Marxists and they see criminals as class allies in the fight against the social structure. A person who owns a gun to protect himself is considered a class enemy.
“You can bet your bottom dollar that criminals will not register their guns.”
Nor will I.
So the heck would I !!

Told Lynn Swann to shove it
Elected Arlen Specter

Folks, you get the government you deserve. The people of Pennsylvania will have to find out the hard way; there is no freedom in the democrat party.
IOW, pennsylvania gun owners would be treated like Michigan handgun owners have been treated for decades...
Until your local Gestapo shows up on your doorstep, and you're all "YEssir," and "Nosir," and "Right away Sir!"
I believe it’s long past time to “vote from the roof tops”.
All of the left’s ideas are getting SO old.
Criminals and gang-bangers prey on others and each other with guns - the pussy left isn’t tough enough to stop them so their solution is to punish the law-abiding instead.
I wonder why more people don't realize that.
I intend to do just that, and I will follow through on it--just as I no longer live in New York state. I refused to return despite a job offering quite a substantial jump in salary, and I am prepared to leave PA if they pass this.
Submit like we have to everything else they throw at us.
The Second Amendment could not be clearer.
Tell the gun grabbers, just as clearly, “No.”
If ever there was a time to use the Second Amendment for it’s intended purpose, the ability to protect all of your rights, the time is right now.
If the tree of Liberty is due for some Patriot and/or Tyrant blood, so be it.
No, since I'm not one of the offenders, I don't feel "open" at all. We want the bad ones out.
But I am puzzled why you would think that the "bubble burst" (which in most of the country is simply a slowdown to a more normal pace than the past five years) is caused by criminal acts by real estate practitioners.
The ton of disclosures required with each sale and loan origination plainly state the "what ifs" to the consumer. Some sign without reading; others gamble and lose. Most read and understand, take on what they can handle, and do just fine.
You'll hear that the foreclosure rate on subprime loans has doubled in the past year, and it has. What you won't hear is that it is still substantially under 1%.
Note: sorry, I’m not trying to hijack a 2nd amendment thread over to real estate!
When Hungary was over run, the first place the intruders went was to the police stations to get the lists of gun ownership. Those houses were raided first and hard.
This sounds a great deal like the "national" gun registry which received support from Rudy Giuliani.

Please excuse the “double Tap”
It is already against the law for criminals to have guns. And this is not about carrying guns anyway. This is just a way to fleece law abiding citizens out of more money. Every politician who signed on to this should be recalled.
I agree, to a point. And to clarify, I was not defending the registration process, merely stating my take on their "reasoning".
A point of sale background check is OK with me if permanent records are not kept that'll come back to bite me when the RATS take over.
Right. It's too bad our President and his Attorney General didn't go after voter fraud with any enthusiasm - maybe the results would have been different in some of those races...
