A Sensible Gun Registration Plan That Will Work

[bighornjd]

Obviously, while it is favorable in my mind to most gun registration ideas you hear about, I don't like it at all. For the same reasons WE don't want gun registration, it's not fair to turn it around on non-gun owners either. Since when did "Land of the Free" become "Land of the Fees". How about I do what the fuck I want and you do what the fuck you want. As long as we aren't infringing on each others rights then what's the problem? If I want to own a gun, then dammit I'm gonna have a gun. If you don't want one, don't get one - that's your problem. There's no reason ANYBODY, including and especially .gov, should know who has or doesn't have guns. Unless of course they are criminals (not victimless crimes, mind you) and then they should be locked away or 6 feet under. I'm sick of all the 'pay up if do this, pay up if you don't do that' BS that happens everyday as it is. Let's not add to the problem...

Currently reading a book about the settlement of the Ohio River valley in the vicinity of Kentucky and Ohio. Just read today of a campaign taken against the Shawnee villages in this region. In order to gain enough manpower to stage the campaign, the militia was called up.

The part that I find the most surprising is, at the time, "the militia" meant "any able-bodied, male residents and all able-bodied male visitors (from other states)!" The term of service was "until the campaign was finished."

There were folks that were visiting relatives from PA and VA that were put into service for almost 3 months.

There is another side to this. How exactly is someone under that idea supposed to prove gun ownership to avoid the fee? And what is going to happen with that information?

Obviously, while it is favorable in my mind to most gun registration ideas you hear about, I don't like it at all. For the same reasons WE don't want gun registration, it's not fair to turn it around on non-gun owners either. Why not? We have to pay for police protection for them because they refuse to defend themselves. Turn-a-bout is fair play. Since when did "Land of the Free" become "Land of the Fees". When it became evident that freedom is not free, that's when. You don't seem to care that I have to pay to rehab criminals or to provide them with three hots and a cot. Then why are you so dam willing to tell me that I should not charge them a fee to help cover the costs of all everything that they are getting for free How about I do what the fuck I want and you do what the fuck you want. As long as what the fuck you wish to do does not have any effect including monetary on me then do as you please. But when your pursuit of happiness takes precedent over my pursuit of happiness, then it causes me an issue. You are missing the forest for the treesAs long as we aren't infringing on each others rights then what's the problem? But they are infringing on my rights and at a cost that I am sick and tired of paying.If I want to own a gun, then dammit I'm gonna have a gun. If you don't want one, don't get one - that's your problem. There's no reason ANYBODY, including and especially .gov, should know who has or doesn't have guns. Unless of course they are criminals (not victimless crimes, mind you) and then they should be locked away or 6 feet under. I'm sick of all the 'pay up if do this, pay up if you don't do that' BS that happens everyday as it is. Let's not add to the problem...People who do not see the problem are the problem. You seem to forget that .gov has no problem taking what is mine to give it to those that are already taking from me. And that is the problem. All of these criminals keep taking till it hurts, either by thievery or by .gov handout and entitlement programs, and then the .gov comes along and tries to take what I have left. And you don't see a problem with that. I don't give a dam what you do, just don't allow your actions nor your inactions to cost me.

Now that there's funny, I don't care who you are.

Something like this would most likely never be implemented, I would oppose it if it were. Just because if you know who does not own a gun, you by default know who does own a gun. So either way it would not be good for gun owners.

Well I know I'm new here, but given the information in this article, Mr. Fred Maslack deserves serious consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now this line is sig-worthy:

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late
to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."

And the author should have accredited to the source

Claire Wolfe
101 Things To Do 'Til The Revolution

I don't remember when it came out but I've had a copy for about 10 years.
Interesting book.
