The answer may be "its the money." Mr. Howard's arguments have a lot of merit; there is no doubt that since the 1968 GCA the government through its ATF and many states have been compiling lists of gun buyers/owners. The silver lining is that there are currently MILLIONS of people who have exercised their RKBA since 1968 and perhaps MILLIONS more who have inherited arms which are not on any list at all. I have no doubt that confiscation will be attempted sometime in the future. Its clear that states like California are already doing so on a very limited basis. Not all the law is in place which would allow this yet. But in the Golden State, the legislature is working at an increased pace to put these laws in place before they lose the governorship. If Assemblyman Simitian's bill, AB2580, becomes law, the Cal DOJ (through local law enforcement agencies) will have the authority to inspect private residences/guns of registered AW owners on a yearly basis. This is one step away from confiscation. Is this unconstitutional? Of course it is. But when did the bastards ever allow that old piece of paper to interfere with "Those in Authority"?
