Nah, and I doubt they would. I'm a sane gun-owner, I don't buy them in bulk and I don't have an arsenal in my home. Just a .357 Mag and a .40 cal Ruger semi-auto pistol.

I totally understand they govt. has a responsibilty to investigate criminal use and misues of firearms, and I support it.

For years the NRA has been screaming Wolf! that the govt. is going to take our guns. But there are criminals who take advantage of the Second Amendment and that cannot be allowed.

Mexican officials in 2008 asked federal agents to trace the origins of more than 7,500 firearms recovered at crime scenes in Mexico. Most of them were traced back to Texas, California and Arizona.

Another tip took agents on a 30-minute drive from the shack to a sprawling home with a pool in the back and an American flag out front.
It turned out two handguns, of a type drug gangsters prefer, were bought by a pastor for target practice.
Some stories, they say, are hard to believe.
The lamest so far came from a police officer: He said he bought a few military-style rifles, left them in his car and — on the same night — forgot to lock a door. He couldn’t explain why he didn’t file a police report or why he visited Mexico the day after the alleged theft.

Man, that's pretty sad.
