We seem to be heading perilously close to adopting NY and IL style gun laws within the next few years if this trend continues, where it will be a FELONY with zero tolerance and mandatory minimum sentencing simply for OWNING a firearm in your own home, auto, or place of business without a permit. Zero tolerance and mandatory minimums means that possession equals AUTOMATIC GUILT and no hope of jury nullification . . . don't think that your "Constitutional right" or a trial by jury will dismiss any charges brought against you. A few NorthEastern states have unofficially seceeded from the US years ago, becoming a hostile force intent on attacking the rest of the United States through legislation that will arbitrarily strip all Americans of all their rights . . . don't think this will be limited to the 2nd Amendment.
