Were it not for the fact that registration facilitates confiscation, I might agree with you. But it does, so I don't, and I'm glad that me and my fellow NRA members have been able to counter gun grabbers as much as we have.
That's the problem, isn't it? We can't be sure that at some point, this group won't be able to seize the guns so we don't want to have them registered.
