Navajo Nation Tribal Council officials are reviewing a proposal that would require tribal land residents to register their firearms.

The Daily Times reports the proposed bill would require residents to register firearms such as automatic guns, rifles and shotguns to the Navajo Nation Police Department.

The bill would allow the police department to maintain a registry which would include the firearm's serial number, registration date and the owner's name and address. If measure is passed, current gun owners would have 180 days from the bill's approval to register their guns with police. New gun owners would have 180 days from the gun's purchase date.

Delegate Davis Filfred says the measure would create accountability for gun owners and make identifying gun owners easier for police.

Sheesh. I mean Yah-Tah-Hay! (SP) I guess they can do whatever the wish. Or whatever the tribal counsel decides.

Round up the usual suspects!

[Vendome]

It’s their country...

[ltc8k6]

If it passes, gun grabbers will be using it as an example every time the subject of gun control comes up...

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL. The NNPD. The “registry” will be lost or misplaced within 180 days.

What about the bows and arrows?

It worked so well the last time this group submitted to strict gun control.......

How long does this nonsense continue? Having a sovereign nation within a sovereign nation doesn’t work. They are either citizens of the USA or they are not.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Jay Silverheels was Canadian.
Perhaps that’s where they got this idea?

[dfwgator]

What about pointed sticks?

You're right. A Democrat Congress would pass a bill declaring the entire country to be part of the Navajo Nation.

What about the bows and arrows?

“How long does this nonsense continue? Having a sovereign nation within a sovereign nation doesn’t work. They are either citizens of the USA or they are not.”

They are not a sovereign nation. They can’t issue passports. They are U.S. citizens.

They control their land the way cities and states control their land.

Its sad that governments are chiefed by the double tounges.

[Parley Baer]

Big mistake on their part. They receive a lot of Federal money and it will be on the line.

Firestick of many thunders, invention of evil white man. Great Spirit say get riddum, use only bow & arrow.
