[quote=italiansxs]Registration is the penultimate goal of the gun grabbers. It is a Necessary step in order to be able to confiscate firearms which is the socialist's true ultimate goal.
Firearms registration must be fought at all costs because not only is it worthless (Think Canada here) but it's expensive with a cost in the billions. However if all firearms were registered confiscation would be relatively easy as was done with "assault weapons" in california.
I personally think less Americans would comply than the Canadians did before they scrapped their system.
Jim [/quoteI couldn't agree more, Jim. I am a NRA Life member, and many years ago, my first wife was taking the girls over across the bridge from Detroit (her home town, and today a sewer, like Chicago, reeling from corrupt mayors, etc.) to her folks' summer cottage just East of Windsor-- when the Customs official on the Canadian side spotted the NRA membership sticker on the rear lower bumper, he ordered her to pull aside and they searched the car and the luggage for firearms, especially a handgun. They found none, but told her that they were trained to do this on all vehicles entering Canada with any form own stickers than might infer gun ownership. They were polite- when she called me later on, I told her to scrape the sticker off-which she did- when they returned to America, they sailed through without a hitch. I do NOT have any stickers or hunting/gun related insignia on any of our vehicles- and when we go to area gun shows in Grand Rapids or Lansing, we park the vehicle 3-4 blocks from the facility and walk- so no BATFE Gestapo-types can get our license plate numbers. Just a precaution-
