Get in line, Register those guns and magazines

Sorry you should have learned by now that we have to vote on something then we can read the bill to know what is in it. seems the policy goes for who you are voting for, vote for them before vetting them that is how we wound up with obummer in the first place.

Sad to see this happen. Especially since the people who voted for this law have no idea how firearms actually work, they just vote for whatever P Diddy tells them to. They're like Feinstein who says "when the bad guy sees that no one else has a gun, they'll turn theirs in" I'm eager to see how many lives are saved by this brilliant legislation *rolls eyes*.

Don't confuse the stated goal for the actual goal.

The real goal is to make all gun owners criminals and make a dent in the number of "force multipliers" on our side of the equation.

Registration schemes accomplish both. They are reinforcing the stigma associated with owning a black rifle and giving them to ability to justify extraordinary measures in dealing with non-compliance. Meanwhile, they get the fence-sitters to register and forfeit. Meaningful resistance will be "far right" and easy to marginalize. With strict penalties for possession/non-compliance, the Regime also gets to take out the strongest links in the opposition for non-crimes.

The folks who would join the resistance have another "mental block" in their way; if you wouldn't fight with a gun in hand, how could you ever find the courage to fight without one?

So from an objective perspective, a registry can be an abject failure, yet still accomplish the intended purpose for the Regime.

What keeps me up at night is these people have the smartest folks out there working for them using our tax dollars (which are taken from us and used against us). They know exactly what they are doing and even have good data on how we will respond. It's no accident that Bloomberg is very careful about where to spend his money.

No confiscation or registration scheme would work, but for the willing volunteers - the cops.

Do you think some paper shuffling bureaucrat or hahaha a politician is going to stack up on your door ?

Yea right

No it will be the volunteer security forces - cops, atf, fbi whatever. That simple fact seems to make some uncomfortable. Somehow they get a pass, and all notions of personal responsibility are replaced by - they are just following orders.

Nice!

We, in Colorado, must vote to set ourselves free. We cannot be apathetic at election time and allow the criminally insane to out vote us and keep their criminally insane representatives in public office. The recalls were an eye opener for the bad guys and we must make sure that the others that assisted them are removed from positions of responsibility and the laws restricting the second amendment are repealed and never considered again. You have shown that you have the power, never give it up again.

Thanks guys--I'm right twice a day.

We have to educate people about what is happening, when it has happened in the past, and what has resulted from those past actions. That way people will learn that this is not ok! All gun owners need to be united to fight against this infringements. It makes no sense to argue with uneducated unintelligent people that cannot listen to both sides of an argument, but we have to stand together to fight this stuff.

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

I'm thankful that I'm 47, rather than 7.

When I lived in NC & FL I can remember guys that I fished with who were in their 70's/80's telling me about how the fishing was 50-60 years ago and how they were saddened about the state of things now (poor management coupled with greed has decimated some species). Although gun registration is a different genre/sport altogether, I can begin to see similarities: kids today will not likely have the same experiences I have had due to politicians altering what we can and cannot do.....'for our own good'.
