New York Governor Cuomo the Junior may have rushed through his new gun control law with such speed that police will avoid its restrictions only through the blessed miracle of selective enforcement, but he may have a little trouble getting the state's firearms owners to attend his party. The new law requires owners of those scary-looking rifles known as "assault weapons" to register their property (amidst assurances that, oh no, the registration lists will never be used for confiscation), but gun rights activists are actively urging gun owners to defy the new mandate.

A. Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take HEALTHCAREstamps who chooses to do without HEALTHCAREthem. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.

would have fixed it if i knew how to strike through...

You know what would be cool? If EVERY SINGLE person of legal age to purchase a firearm went in every week to request a background check as if they were actually buying a firearm, long rifle, shotgun, etc. Imagine a hundred million or so requests EVERY WEEK.

Kind of like the Concealed Carry classes that are all full up. Everyone needs a CCW, whether or not they actually carry.

ALL gun owners should err on the side of caution. WHY?

Maybe because "a FOOL and his WEAPONS are soon parted."
