No different from a Poll tax.
Shouldn’t cost money to exercise a Right.
The plan is to gradually raise the price until you can’t afford it. This is a tax. Is it a legal tax on the second amendment? Can you tax free speech? If not, then you can’t tax gun ownership either.
Amen brother.
Another trick that will eventually be overturned, but in the meanwhile provide a leg tingle for the Left.
Agreed, how is this possibly not an infringement.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Offenders will be rounded up and put into train cars and taken where their kind won't be a danger to everyone else.
finally, all the gang members will now have to legally register their guns.
The difference is that “voting” is a priviledge borne from citizenship. Legislation protects that priviledge (as you say, it does not cost money).
2A-RTK&BA is a God-given right that cannot be altered by any governing body. Legislation cannot change the “right”.
Legislation CAN change the priviledge, not the right.
Only law-abiding citizens are that foolish...when your God given rights...let alone the mention of God...becomes a crime, embrace your inner criminal.
I believe Christians recall the cryptic advice “ be as harmless as doves but wise as serpents “
Never “Register” ANY FIREARM!!
(Class III exemption, due to existing law)
If you register your weapon, it will be taken from you by the very people you need to be defended from.
What will you Freepers do when your state implements this?
” - - - That citizen is then in possession of an unregistered firearm, which is a felony that carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. - - - “
Hmmmmmm - - - - ?
Now it is a felony to abide by the US Constitution?
Noted US Constitution Expert Larry The Cable Guy has been stating for years that Americans have the Right To Bare Arms.
If Larry says it, it must be right, I don’t care who you are!

“Gun re-registration begins in D.C., may lead to arrest and confiscation”
Shouldn’t they replace “may lead to arrest and” to “for future confiscation”?
Conn, DC, NY, it’s coming to Red States soon.
But the fact it is happening in DC makes it a bit more entertaining since DC is home to a lot of politicians and law-enforcement types.
This is Obamacare.
Every single day I see more and more deliberate, incremental erosion of our precious rights. I can’t believe it’s happening so fast. Exponential erosion. D.C. residents with firearms would be well-advised to simply leave. Now.
Aside: Twenty-five-years ago I moved out of D.C. to Alexandria Virginia for one reason: the hostile, brain-damaging bureaucratic DMV maze in which I refused to waste my any more of my time, just trying to get a D.C. drivers license. No criminal, driving or insurance issues — just a law-abiding, rational, pleasant legal resident trying to get a simple drivers license.
(Suburban Virginia DMV was only moderately better.)
Further aside: Now in Tennessee and much happier, thank you.
