“Force gun owners to renew their licenses every five years”
Hey, they have precedent now.
You have to purchase health insurance in order to remain a law-abdiding citizen.
Having to provide a government that should not be trusted with a list of the weapons you own and where you live...and to pay...increasingly punitive fees...in order to do so, is a logical progression from that tyrannical precedent.
How often do gun owners have to renew their registration in states other than New York?
