So What's the Matter with
Gun Registration? Everything!

Original Article

To say that Turkey did not enjoy a smooth transition from being the seat of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, through World War I and into the modernist Ataturk era, would be a massive understatement. In those turbulent times, ethnic Turks, who were Muslims composing the vast majority of the population, considered their Christian minorities, especially the Armenians, to be disloyal and treacherous.

Comments:

Bracken gives several examples of gun registration efforts, always done in the name of "public safety." Eventually--and in the case of the Armenians, only four years later--groups were scapegoated, their guns confiscated, and they were exterminated. We must get over the notion that we are different because we live in the United States. Ask yourself the question, "Is anyone being scapegoated in the United States?" Nancy Pelosi recently said, "The enemy is within." And now Washington, DC is surrounded by fences and razor wire.

A few years ago in Illinois Lisa Madigan (AG) was going to allow the names of licensed gun owners to be released to the media. Fortunately the public outrage prevailed. They, anyone in charge, cannot be trusted with that power, even if there is potential to do good, far more harm will come of it.

#1, something similar happened in the Cleveland, Ohio area back around 2003. One of the editors of the Cleveland Plain Dealer published the names of citizens who had CCW permits. Shortly thereafter, a man who owned a store--and who had a CCW permit--was shot and killed while he was working. A gun rights group retaliated by publishing the name, address, and contact information of the newspaper editor.

When the leftist and liberal Democrats prove beyond a reasonable doubt that all criminals, gangbangers, folks with illegal guns, illegal aliens, and intending terrorists will willingly comply with their proposed gun registration laws and regulations will most law abiding people also comply. Since common sense will tell you that will never happen. So the Democrats will only be generating tens of millions of new felons out of law abiding Americans all over the country. Any establishment Republicans or RINOs who would vote for the Democrat gun control bills will be committing political suicide.

Who wants to bet that they'd have this particular type of registration (unlike voter registration rolls) 100% accurate? Interestingly, millions of democrats also own guns, many in just the past 8-10 months.

Even in "compliant" countries like Canada, their attempts to register guns collapsed upon themselves. I think most estimates were that Canadians registered about 30% of their guns, but that's just a guess, of course. Not going to work here. And the ONLY point to registration is to give them a list for the coming confiscation. Guaranteed, that is the purpose. Register the guns you plan on turning in.

What poster #3 says, and add that absolutely NO celebrity or politician can have armed guards protecting them or their families. All these leftists have to have some skin in the game also.

If you thought prohibition was unacceptable to Americans--and it was a constitutional amendment, then wait until the democrats see how real Americans respond to gun control.

I am not convinced that D.C. does not have a record of every background check performed when purchasing a firearm. These records are supposed to be destroyed, but the Left's hue and cry about seizing semi-automatic firearms leads me to think that isn't so.

Fascinating and frightening article. Spent many - MANY - hours standing in the ammo line at a gun show this past weekend. Easily 300 in length at any time. Mostly Hispanics, some black families, and a handful of us "supremacists" (both male and female, guilty by nothing more than skin color). To a one, all were patient, friendly, and courteous. It was clear, though, that these folks were not to be trifled with when it came to their Second Amendment rights.

I wonder just how many criminals will register their firearms? Better store your legally obtained unregistered firearms now in a cache before Bewildered Biden's Gestapo comes for them.

#12, the Supreme Court has ruled that if criminals don't register their illegally owned guns, there is NO crime committed. They would be self incriminating if they registered, so they are literally EXEMPTED from the laws on registration of guns. Think about that. Criminals are specifically exempted. YOU, as a non-criminal, will be put in jail if you don't register your guns. Hard facts, please look it up.

Dozens of House Democrats are calling on President Biden to relinquish sole control over the country’s nuclear arsenal and the ability to launch a strike using those weapons. Politico reports that the Democrats, led by Rep. Jimmy Panetta (CA) and Rep. Ted Lieu (CA), wrote a letter warning that “vesting one person” with the authority to initiate a nuclear war “entails real risks.” “While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so,” the letter explains.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' dissent in a Pennsylvania GOP election lawsuit has prompted critics to call for his wife Virginia "Ginni" Thomas to be investigated on Monday. Ginni's past comments were put under the social media spotlight shortly after her husband's dissent, with many citing a pair of January 6 Facebook posts in support of the "Stop the Steal" rally seeking to overturn the election outcome in favor of former President Donald Trump. Although spouses of Supreme Court justices typically avoid politics, Ginni Thomas has frequently expressed her opinions in public.

Visiting the State Department, Biden also promised to repair alliances and engage with the world again. “American leadership” must meet rising authoritarianism and unite with partners to combat global challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic or climate change, he said.

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced a bill earlier this month that would enact some of the strictest gun regulations in the history of the country and give the federal government sweeping power to decide who can own a firearm. The Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act, named after a Pakistani exchange student who was murdered in Texas in 2018, would "provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms" and "prohibit the possession of certain ammunition."

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details
