They won't take your right to own a gun away....... they'll just put so many flaming hoops between you and the free excercise of that right that no-one will bother.......... to to jump thru the hoops......... so much for being law abiding.

huskergun:
yeap ......so much for the law abiding thing.

This wont go anywhere. It's not the first time it's been pushed.

huskergun:
 I realize it most likely will not go anywhere at this moment however we must remain vigilant on any attempt to restrict our Second Amendment rights.
 I have heard for too long from people that say " they aren't going to take your guns". Well thay probably won't just outright ban them but they will attempt to back door it.  So forgive me for getting a little on edge here but the fact is our federal government at this time can not be trusted along with every socialist/Liberal state such as Illinios when it comes to ou gun rights. The attitude of " this won't go anywhere" is just the kind of attitude the anti's hope for. It is not the time for being complacent. Just my thoughts.
