It has already started!

I was talking with a friend of mine from Michigan.

They are forced to register all firearms with the police department!

Is it this way in your state?

Been that way for years in the People's Republic of Hawaii.

Same in Oregon, where I grew up -- not sure in Missouri.

Registration is fine by me. I have to register my car. Marriages are registered. Deaths are registered. Births are registered. Registration is generally a good idea.

The Supreme Court recently upheld the Second Amendment as an individual right to bear arms. And during the campaign Obama spoke in favor of the Supreme Court's decision, to the chagrin of anti-gun organizations. There is no problem with the registration of a person's choice to exercise the right to carry a weapon. The problem would be with denying the right, and as of late we've been going in the opposite direction of that.

it is the way they took the guns in dc and other countries. You have to register the guns then when DC banned then you had 30 days to turn them in.
I am not saying that is what they are doing etc..

Also.. here comes the yearly TAXES on owning each. Just like a Car, Just like a Home, Just like property.

Yes. I have a problem with THAT.

Not sure, I have a few rifles that are not registered. Never heard that it was required. Of course, owning a handgun is different.

I meant to say, "I belive" owning a handgun is different. I was thinking that you had to register handguns and go thru a background check. Of course I could be way wrong.

In Alabama you only have to do that if you buy from a licensed dealer. Sales between individuals need not be reported.

Not in VA yet that I know of...Like some other states you can buy handguns at a gun show and not register it. It you purchase at a gun shop it must be registered.

I bought my 9mm at a gun shop had it registered and then got my conceal carry permit...I was afraid Obama/Dems would try to pass some type of regulations and hoped to be grandfathered in. I guess time will tell.

Would you elaborate on what exactly makes it "generally a good idea?"
