I read that a lot of those on the list of non conformers are police officers. So who's going to go knocking on the law enforcement officers door when they fail to register their firearms.
And if they didn't register their guns as the law requires how did the authorities know that they had a gun. Perhaps the FBI/ATF back ground check paperwork were given to the State so they could see who has a gun and didn't register it. I read that these back ground checks were not suppose to be used for that kind of thing!
This is one area where I don't agree with the Anti Gun people. I don't think that the US Constitution said anything about having to register our arms to have the "Right to bear Arms".
[QUOTE=GeoFisher;528863]This stuff is getting a little scary. In Connecticut nearly 1/2 million folks refused to register their legally owned weapons. Now this jack booted THUG state trooper basically makes it clear the storm troopers will come and take them.
I seriously think this is a gigantic mistake and will lead to dead enforcers, whoever they may be.

You are right about the non gun owners not caring. If you don't hunt or shoot at the range you probably don't own a long rifle. Some folks may buy guns for self defense. These folks may own a hand gun or a shot gun for that purpose.
I hunt and have hunted since I was 8 years old. I was lucky to grow up in an area where I could hunt. There were fewer houses back in those days in that area and I had free roam of the field and woods behind my parents house.
But these days those same farm fields are developed and have ten homes on them. What use to be farmland is now a suburb.
Today we have fewer areas where people can hunt. If you are not a land owner (big farm) or pay for a hunting lease you probably don't hunt these days. To me that is the scary thing.
I think that right now there are still many people with guns who fill fight the anti gun folks.
But the future doesn't look bright for many potential new hunters. Finding land to hunt on is getting harder in some areas of the USA. Maybe in KY there is still a lot of farms and field where non land owners can still hunt. But the area where I live it's getting harder to find good hunting land. Hunting on public land may support a few new hunters but I've found that hunting on public land *****! Too many hunters on small areas that are still public hunting lands.
The one thing that we hunters have in our back pocket is the Constitution. The Supreme Court needs to continue to side with the gun owners or there could be trouble down the road. I'll be gone before that happens.
[QUOTE=DJD;528906]Well the new Surgeon General Nominee is very vocal about stricter gun control. It comes down to a few things in my mind...If the politicians keep at it they will get what they want. It may take 50 years of trying but they will get it done. If folks who don't own guns could care less about it since it doesn't directly impact them its a win for anyone who pushes for gun control. Add those people who don't care to the liberals who want more gun control and you can see how tenuous this can be.
I'm not overly concerned but I do pay attention to this and little by little they win a few and then we win a few. It's all about people standing up for what they believe the rights of americans are.[/QUOTE]
There are those that believe that guns kill people and who want to ban the sale of guns and take away the people's guns to better control us. That won't happen in my life time.
"But if gun's killed people no one would walk out of a gun show alive"
[QUOTE=GeoFisher;528914]I'm sure Australians thought that too.
I'm sure New Zealanders thought that too.
I'm sure Germans in 1938 Nazi Germany thought that too.
Yea, it can never happen here.
