I Guess it Beats Admitting Powerlessness

Long-gun amnesty may be extended

That's fine, and those watching the backs of Canadian gun owners are doing good, but this really needs to be looked at from a different perspective.

Those who keep pushing for registration are like sick stalkers who won't take "No--I'm not interested--Leave me alone" for an answer. Why do we accept on a societal level what we would not tolerate on a personal one? (Perhaps that explains why we tolerate betrayals from politicians that would land an errant spouse out on the street.)

What does massive noncompliance tell you?

And why aren't we employing more if it here?

Because it is easier than being (or taking the risk of being) held personally accountable.

Unfortunately, most gun owners aren't willing to stand for anything at all, let alone their rights.

Hmmm. . . sounds a whole lot like most "Christians."

because we are chickenshit. Not as eloquent as it might be, but more reflective of the truth than being nicely said.

Actually, that sure sounds like CA. I was talking to a dealer after their last ban was put into effect. He said that he couldn't get any more forms from the DOJ. They told him that they had supplied more than enough of the forms, but they weren't getting many back. This was after CA had actually seized a particular model of gun that had been registered later than the rest in the first ban. Made it clear to gun owners that they WOULD grab guns. Dealer said that the state was only getting a few percent registered of the banned guns the state estimated were in the publics hands. Somewheres around 2 to 5%. Don't know what the final numbers were, but that conversation was only days before the deadline.

Yeah, Will, NRA Members Councils no doubt used up a good part of the supply at their little DOJ Love Fest.
