To provide an amnesty period during which veterans and their family members can register certain firearms in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and for other purposes. [More]The NRA is for it.
I'm not. Two reasons:
1. Rights are unalienable and inherent to the condition of being human. I don't recognize the power of any government body to grant any class of citizens rights at all, or privileges and immunities not available to all. Matter of fact, to do so seems decidedly unconstitutional. There should be no "Only Ones," veterans, their heirs or otherwise.
If we're not all sitting at the same table, there's no incentive for those who are to invite the rest of us in from the cold. It's one of the main reasons I oppose nationwide concealed carry for cops.
You open this door and who knows what will slither in next?
2. The hell with registration.
