Re: National Gun Registration - still at it after 40 years

Actually, I believe the govt of Ireland just started returning handguns it had confiscated from the people over 30yrs ago, but that's a very unusual occurrence.

Its not a fear, so much as its history in other countries. Its the divide and conquer approach. First register the machine guns, then the evil looking semi-auto guns, then confiscate the machine guns or at least add more restrictions, then restrict the semi-autos more, then ban the 'saturday night specials', then ban standard magazines by calling them 'high capacity' and declaring that no one needs them. Follow that with more onerous licensing requirements, then make owners re-register firearms that have already been registered, then.......


Basically, the above is what has happened in Canada.
