Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, said he hopes the technology puts an end to a nettlesome problem. Too often, he said, people unaware that past convictions barred them from owning guns would buy one and not be stopped, then face state enforcement. Paredes said the group has "no real objection" to the system.
"The law has to be obeyed," he said. "If you don't like the law, you work to change it."
Right, Sam.
Aren't we all glad the men of Lexington and Concord obeyed the law? Have you people never read Thoreau?
So when they ban guns and order them surrendered, you'll obey and turn 'em in, right?
I'm trying to figure out just what the hell good the Second Amendment is if we're going to surrender it before testing it. And what the hell good a "gun rights group" that counsels preemptive surrender is--besides making sure its lobbyists get paid.
UPDATE: 45superman has more.
