"Fact: Criminals generally don’t register their weapons."

Joe, did you know that the Supreme Court ruled that registration laws CANNOT be enforced on criminals. The reasoning is that since it is already illegal for them to own guns, making them register their illegally owned guns would violate their Fifth Amendment right against being forced to provide evidence against yourself.

Thus, ONLY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS CAN BE FORCED TO REGISTER THEIR GUNS!

A-yep. Crazy. If anyone needed any proof that the inmates are running the legislative asylum, that's it.

So, let's see... if the gummint makes a law declaring that everyone register and I don't, then I'm a criminal. But since criminals are exempted, I'm clean as the driven snow.

Such a deal!

Think about it:

1- Gun banning liberals want to disarm as many people as possible.
2- As you pointed out, criminals won't disarm and can't be forced to.
3- Criminals also want us disarmed. Guns are a hazard to their profession.
4- The government (individuals aside) also wants us disarmed. We are supposed to be dependent.

CONCLUSION: EVERYONE EXCEPT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS CAN KEEP THEIR GUNS
