I'm not sure convincing them to commit more illegal acts is a great idea. Gravitycollapse May 2013 #1

How is it illegal to hide guns that are properly permitted? Baitball Blogger May 2013 #2

If our goal is to create registries, hiding firearms from the state becomes illegal. Gravitycollapse May 2013 #3

Yeah, how could a registry be a bad idea? Gravitycollapse May 2013 #26

I'm not expressing opinion @ registry. Just sayin' that their supposed wacky fears are well founded, Honeycombe8 May 2013 #31

You are going to compare guns to persecuted jews? Gravitycollapse May 2013 #32

Yes. You're not listening because you don't want to. Honeycombe8 May 2013 #33

Clearly you haven't given it any thought. That much is obvious. Gravitycollapse May 2013 #34
