But the rifle and pistol was an essential part of the life and times of those folks as the country was forming...it was needed to provide sustenance while in the woods or out on the prairie...
Just as it is now used to control animal populations with State-sponsered and State-controled hunting seasons and animal control.
The galling part of this type of legislation is this:
Why does the government NEED TO KNOW WHERE I HAVE MY WEAPONS STORED....PROPERLY?
It's none of my neighbors' business and it doesn't need to be my Governments' business...if they already know I have a weapon...good for them...I don't want some dis-combobulated ex-Government employee breaking into my house and knowing where I have my weapons stored going for it...
To be perfectly honest, I'm starting to think more and more that no one needs to know what I have, where I have it and how many of whatever I have I do have or if I have anything at all.
And any politician that thinks he needs to know is going to end up unemployed in the public sector...as he/she should be...put out of our misery by the voting booth...
