If they were ordered then they were regulated and registered, after all if the people are ordered to keep a longarm with 50m bullets and a horn of powder and fowling pieces don't count then they are touiching all the bases for the 2nd allowing strict regulation on that which it covers.

Now the idea is to take the weapons away, and we think that's a bad idea.

The idea is to restrict ownership of some weapons isn't it, plus take them away from people you all seem to agree shouldn't be allowed weapons.

If the point is to know who the government can rely on in a call-up, registration seems like a good idea to the gun owner. When the point is to know whose door to knock on when the government wants to collect guns, registration seems like a bad idea.

Yet the same people who say it is a bad idea are unable to defend it when the government has failed to remove guns from people they agree shouldn't have guns.
