Logical people who have a modicum of commonsense can only draw one conslusion about the fanaticism that socialists have about registering other people's guns: that the regisrty WILL be used for confiscation. Registries serve NO OTHER PURPOSE and confiscation has resulted from every registry everywhere in the world.

I not necessarily agree with your position. The government registers cars, and licenses drivers, and no one complains. A licensed driver can register as many cars as he wants, and can afford. The only proviso is that you maintain valid liability insurance.

Federal gun registration, and licensing, might give gun owners many rights that they do not now have. Possibilities include:

1) the right to buy a gun without waiting, or any further checks than showing your gun license and insurance card

2) the ability to carry a gun in all states

3) the identification of licensed gun owners with registered guns as law-abiding citizens who can be trusted (they must be OK if the insurance company insured them)

Obviously, this is a deal that would have to be investigated carefully. But I would not refuse to negotiate a deal in advance, before I knew what the terms were.

Would it have been different? Yes, they would have both been killed with a registered gun.

Jeez, from this example, how can anyone NOT see the moral superiroity of gun registration? </sarcasm>

Hmmm… from the mouths of cold-blooded killers.

Actually, he apparently killed in hot blood, if he shot them immediately.

It is time to organize the 20'th century minute man. A national organization of gun owners with a grass root organization and a network of support. Such an organization would be used to defend the right to keep and bare arms from any state or local area that ever attempted to confiscate weapons. An organization founded on constitutional grounds to defend constitutional rights with the direct threat of armed confrontation just as Thomas Jefferson described to put the fear of God into government gone astray. An individual is powerless but a group as a whole the larger it is can easily protect the rights of all. Even if half the NRA members or a few hundred million members that could show up armed at any location within hours or days to protect citizens from having illegal gun seizures from occuring would prevent the government from attempting to do so out of fear alone. The governemt does not fear a radical militia movement. What the government fears is a more determined type of NRA that is willing to organize and act more than just to lobby. When lobbying fails and government steps beyond its constitutional contraints than it is time for a more activist organization of people like our founding fathers and patriots formed when they secured their rights by throwing out the British. If the United States governemnt on any level ever attempts to take the arms of its citizens for any reason than it is time to step up to the plate and defend ourselves, our families, our homes, our communities, and our guns by using them if required to do so in keeping them and the right for self defense and personnal liberty.

And to think that this editorial apopeared in a paper in the socialist province of Ontario, Canada.

I was talking with someone about a week ago about AK-47 rifles. He couldn't understand why anybody would want to own one of these rifles. I stated that the AK-47 would be used to defend all the other guns he owned.
