Why the FEAR of Gun Registration?

I, along with millions of other gun owners and the National Rifle Association, have been steadily resistant to any "gun registration". Many non-gun owners (and even some gun owners) can't understand such a simple measure being a bad thing and may appear harmless. In fact, some politicians claim the "gun registration" will NOT lead to confiscation of lawful citizen's guns.

I don't believe it, and do NOT trust ANY proposal for national firearms registration. Period.

Is the basic idea of firearms registration a bad idea? Not in my view. It would be like registering one's car, as far as pure "registration" goes. But car's ARE NOT for self defense, or national safeguards, or subject to confiscation! So let's not compare any of the apples and oranges BS.

Why object so soundly, many might ask? To start with, there are some outspoken, and dare I say honest, politicians who have flat out said they want to confiscate all guns, or at least all guns of some menacing nature, or some variation of confiscation. Some even believe the 2nd amendment should be repealed altogether!

Of late, one of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia Washington this session, calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners, at least once a year....WITHOUT a warrant! All owners would be required to register such guns (all guns?), so the county sheriffs would know whose home to go to. WITHOUT A WARRANT ... (in case you missed that)! Once that section was discovered, the bill’s backers say that was just a mistake, but no one is fessing up to who put that in.
(Like so many bills, they may have hoped people would just glance over it, and it would be signed into law before anyone "knew what was in it"! Obamacare anyone?????)

Canadian gun owners, as well as "former gun owners" from Great Britain and Australia, have written warning in blogs and other on-line pieces, decrying America's government attempt to register firearms, telling how those measures lead to the confiscation of their own firearms. I wish I had kept a copy of it, but one writer said, in essence, America is the last bastion of freedom, and if the 2nd amendment goes away there, there will be no more real freedom anywhere in the world.

Here it is - Unless someone can prove .... prove ... that there would NEVER be a general confiscation of firearms in the future, then I won't go along with ANY registration. And NO ONE can promise that, because right now, our "shall not be infringed" right under the 2nd amendment is already under attack!

As for our 2nd amendment right, ANY "right" we currently have that could be taken away, opens up the next "right" as an easier one to be taken next. Those foundational building blocks of a FREE America, are all we have to stay a FREE nation.

No sir. NO registration. And HELL NO - NO confiscation .... EVER!
