Member once, got tired of seeing so much money go towards solicitation and see so little done to not just perserve gun rights, but advance rights and the definition of ownership from where the second amendment has been 'whittled down' to. Kind of like one step forward, two steps back.
Gun registration is BS, just as registering for CC. Although I do think the preliminary training course for CC is somewhat of a move in the right direction, registration just appears to be another way of creating ownership records for eventual collection. Way too much 'Big Brother'.
The list put together by Da Colonel with the resulting stigma attached to it by the 'offical government agency on terroristic threats' kind of sums it up. Although one aspect of gun ownership was supposed to be an effective way of 'taming an oppressive government', I believe (are you listening a$$ hole?) we are way past organizing governmental over throw. There are way too many diverse issues to subject to a primary movement of any organized push to change the direction of leadership. These issues could hardly be trusted to one individual, let alone a single organization.
Another scenario is total colapse of the 'system', so to speak, and at that point, I would prefer to be armed. There is something about demanding 'justice to be served' against those who violate the righteousness and liberty that comes from knowing God that motivates me towards armament, although the option of heaven is definitely more appealing.
This also reminds me of a clip from the Men in Black movie with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. An alien ship crashes into the yard of a rural country home. The owner (looking sleezy, like any typical gun owner should
) comes out of the house with a shot gun and walks over to the crater created by the crash. From the bottom of the pit comes a voice that says something like, "Put down your weapon." The owner replies, "You'll get my weapon when you pry it from my cold dead fingers." to which the alien responds, "Your terms are acceptable!" and immediate sucks him into the crater. Not too far from where we are, me thinks.
So, what was the qestion..........?
