The government is aways here to help, K31. Not sure if it's to help themselves or others, but they are here to help! Kind of like when I see these 'We are having a sale' signs. Of course, their stuff is always for sale, right?
They did that stuff in New Orleans to when it sank. They are now getting sued a whole bunch for it and many states have enacted laws to stop them from taking legaly heald arms during, or after, a disaster.
And this is why registration should be resisted. To register the guns just gives them a list to start from when the timie comes.
Oh, and K31, is your handle about the Swiss K31? If so, I used to own a 1911 Swiss 7.5. Regret selling it. Workmanship like no other.
