In reply to the discussion: Registration of all handguns. [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)42. No, it's not. This is 2013, not 1913. Post links, please, proving the following assertions:
"trucks kept on the farm are not required to be tagged and registered. Also, you don't need a car to keep a drivers license or renew it. And, unless you intend to drive on public roads in most states, you don't have to insure your car or anything for that matter. Once it's paid off and no bank has a lien, you can choose not to insure a car or house. Stupid not to, but legal."
I highly doubt any of that is true, but if it is you should have no trouble posting the links to prove it.
And I'm not part of the Pro-NRA crowd. The NRA is a republican (Sic) organization to which most gun owners do not belong. I spent years in the south fighting against "their" candidates. You can blow that fucking refrain out your rear. Find another term to dismiss us rural liberals and our ownership of guns."
1. Yes, you are. 2. (a) False. (b) Sorta-true: most gun owners don't, but almost all "RKBA enthusiasts" do. 3. Cool story, Bro. 4. Uh-huh. 5. I've found the perfect term for "RKBA enthusiasts," and it's spot-on - as is my sig line, which sums it up.
"I posted to help the OP understand the opposing view a bit better."
You need to read the SOP: you're "help" is not wanted in this group. Take it back to your NRA playpen over in GCRKBA.

I disagree with your characterization of '1%' or 'loonies' being paranoid about this issue.

So? So what. The entire issue needs to be reframed. And a new SCOTUS to reinterpret.
