Universal Gun Registration?

[rogue06]

They are estimating that less than 10% of the banned guns have been turned in.

Yup, and are now talking about expanding the deadline in hopes of getting a higher percentage.

National Party leader Simon Bridges has declared the program to be "a fiasco" whereas the best that the co-founder of Gun Control NZ, Nik Green, can muster is a weak, "it looks a little bit premature to be making judgments about fiascos"

The very fact that the gun grabbers here are as quiet as church mice about it is indication enough that it isn't going well.

Feel free to come get them.

Ammunition first

Because you have a volunteer army, superseding the need for a civilian militia, the second amendment is obsolete. Please hand in your weapons.

The 2A was never about establishing a militia or National Guard (which wasn't even founded until the 20th century), but to allow the general population to be armed and capable of forming a militia.

It may be a 'volunteer' army, but we have to remember what happened when Hitler gave machine guns to 18-year-olds. It didn't bode well for a good portion of the population.

If some people see Trump as a wannabe dictator, these people should be pro-2nd-amendment.

It appears that New Zealand's gun buyback program is not going all that well. The government there is talking about extending the deadline because only a small fraction of the banned firearms are getting turned in.

Why would any gun owner now want or support universal gun registration with Democrats talking about gun confiscation?

They won't, and it will be a disaster if the Dems try this on national level. A couple of states tried it and it failed miserably, fortunately for the states they didn't pursue the matter any further.

Just like the IRS only wants your information to help you plan your estate.

Hello. I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Isn't gun registration only used to determine what ammunition the govt will need to send you?

Or is it like registering bicycles? Then they can return your guns to you if they were stolen.

Since it is a right to own guns, doesn't this mean that the leftists will want the government to pay us for the guns and ammunition ... like any other right per the leftist view?
