Registration leads to confiscation.



I might point out as well, that the 'reasonable' Universal Background Checks cannot be enforced without registration. That criminals get guns through private sales is a red herring. The fact is that in many cases guns sold in this manner disappear from the radar and that is what the gun-grabbers are really afraid of. Criminals are merely an excuse.

Take the AWB passed by Congress in 1993. WaPo was surprisingly honest about both the effect and the intent of the law. They said that the law would have almost no effect on violent crime, but its main value was as a steppingstone for more 'comprehensive' laws later.

Then we have Nelson P. 'Pete' Shields who lost his son the 1974 San Francisco Zebra murders and later went on to found Handgun Control, Inc., (which merged with another organization and became the Brady Campaign) and his statement two years later.

"I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. Of course, it's true that politicians will then go home and say, 'This is a great law. The problem is solved.' And it's also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we'll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition -- except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors -- totally illegal."

And to be fair, Brady says their goal now is not banning handguns--I have my doubts about this--but reducing gun violence. However, these statements remain.

UBC's themselves sound like a good idea, until you look closer.

What the Brady people really want, I think, is what is contained in Pete Shields' statement.

Registration paves the way to confiscation orders. Confiscation attempts will lead to armed resistance. Armed resistance will lead to the death of confiscator minions. Confiscator minions will kill armed resistors. To prevent such deaths, do not allow registration. Those in any position of governance who propose and or enact registration must be cast out of any position of power, be it an elected or appointed position. It will save the lives of many minions and citizens.

We the People are armed to the end of preventing any means that would lead to our enslavement by any government or form of government. Disarmament is the means by which any person or persons can engage in a nefarious governance of a people. The Founding Fathers showed us the way when they prevented a government to take our arms. The Founding fathers knew what disarmament leads to. So do we. That's why we are lied to by those who would take our arms. Nothing good ever comes from "gun control", "reasonable restrictions", "registration", "background checks", or confiscation - except for those bent on dictatorship, socialism, communism, tyranny, and despotism. Those who want to engage in such governance of the people but who are aware of the consequences of such activity won't touch it. Make everyone in a position of power aware of the consequences. Knowledge of these consequences will save many lives - maybe even their own.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution prohibits government to disarm the people. When "Shall not be infringed" shows its teeth, we will be free.

“Confiscator Minion” I Love it! How would you like that as your job title? “So, Dilbert, I understand you’re with the government? What is that you do if I may ask? “

“Well, I’m a ... uh... confiscation minion”. “No ****? Good luck with that Dilbert”. ( Walks away guffawing laughter)

FWIW, I am a member of a largely-British forum, many of whose members can't fathom why we allow private citizens to own AR-15 and other semi-auto rifles. The forum has to do with unusual phenomena, and guns are not the main focus.

I'm holding my own over there and I might even be giving them some food for thought.

Way to go, and hang in there! The lives you save might be theirs!
