Can someone more knowledgeable about gun law explain why this is a problem? Is it too expensive, or so infeasible as to ban many weapons? I’m a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. I’m also a firm believer in giving law enforcement the tools it needs to fight crime.

Registration of any kind is the means by which the government will take away whatever you have,if and when gov’t decides.

Do you feel comfortable with the gov't having a complete real time inventory of all your possessions,communications,and whereabouts?

Please don't tell me "if you are doing nothing wrong,it won't matter";you do realize there are so many laws and regulations that it is already humanly impossible to be in complete compliance?

You don't have to be an expert on firearms to know that this is the usual:

WE'RE TOO STUPID,LAZY OR WEAK TO ENFORCE THE LAW ON THE CRIMINALS SO ENFORCE IT ON THE REGULAR (poor hapless) CITIZEN"

Yes, it is expensive and unfeasible. Worse than that it is that it will do nothing to reduce crime or assist law enforcement leading to more "helpful" laws like banning firearms altogether.

You want to give law enforcement tools to fight crime?...reform the culture and the ruling political class to stop making excuses for the criminal class in this country.

Posted this on the other thread:

Could somebody please explain the sudden urgency to eliminate our second amendment rights? I realize that the underlying reason is for the Socialists to attain even more power. But what is the stated justification for this? A few shootings here and there?
Make them explain WHY they are trampling on a fundamental part of the Constitution?

Has there been a sudden increase in crime? Or shootings?

Have these idiotic gun control schemes ever worked?

Have any crimes ever been solved by these methods?

Do they really think we’re going to fall for the BS that it will stop criminals from using guns?
Newsflash, they can’t seem to stop illegals and drugs from crossing the border – so how are they going to stop the criminal element from importing ammunition?
As with every one of these idiotic schemes the Social-Fascist Dimicrats Belch out, it will disarm the law abiding and empower the lawless – both in and out of the government.

Here's a really effective way to fight crime: stop releasing criminals so easily. If somebody is too dangerous to be allowed to buy firearms, then he's too dangerous to be allowed loose on the streets.

The single most effective way to reduce crime is to identify who the career/habitual criminals are, prohibit plea bargains for career criminals, and put them away for the maximum possible time. Career criminals account for a grossly disproportionate amount of our crime.

All working cops, as opposed to politically appointed chiefs and commissioners, know that the serialization law will be utterly useless for solving crime. I have read on the NRA site that NY and MD have had similar laws in effect for about 5 years, and not one person has yet been convicted because of the serial number on the bullet or cartridge case that the accused person allegedly fired.

I dont ever want a bullet tied to me. I like to shoot with anonymity.

But really it does not matter what bill they pass into law. I will always buy bullets that cannot be traced to me. I can go to black market if need be.

Eventually all patriots will have to be put into prison. They have to in order to take away our rights. The sheep will just comply and are not real Americans anyway.
