You need help.
Also as a general note: You guys need to be a LOT more careful about what you say on a public forum, especially this one.

In 1984, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that oath very seriously.
It's a damned shame that alot of others here don't.

I am a sane person with guns. I voted straight dem ticket. They do this and I will vote straight republican ticket. For me firearm ownership, free of government intrusion, read registration, is as important as being able to be in any consensual adult relationship and a woman's right to choose to have an abortion. I promise you Desh, if the Democratic party does this, I will punish the party and so will all kinds of people here in New Mexico.

Are you really this dumb. Do you think the kind of person that would murder someone is going to register a gun? Really? I can't believe that the same people who were bemoaning the infringement on civil liberties by Bush et al are now applauding this. You all have no grip history or the importance of fire arms in this country. The number of people killed per fire arm owned in this country passes ANY cost benefit analysis created. Now the Left is willing to trade freedom for safety, you are a big a bunch of fucking fools as the right that thought it was ok to torture in our name. A pox on you.

I did the same and will have the same reaction if this passes.

it's not about them wanting to feel safe, it's about making sure that there can be no resistance to their unconstitutional policies.

We're on to you.
More than any other issue, though, the deadly standoffs at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992 and Waco, Texas, in 1993 ignited widespread passion. To most Americans, these events were tragedies, but to the extreme right, they were examples of a government willing to stop at nothing to stamp out people who refused to conform. Right-wing folk singers like Carl Klang memorialized the children who died at Waco with songs like "Seventeen Little Children." These events provided new life to a number of extremist movements, from Christian Identity activists to sovereign citizens, but they also propelled the creation of an entirely new movement consisting of armed militia groups formed to prevent another Ruby Ridge or Waco.
The fact that both the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents involved illegal firearms added considerable fuel to the fire that formed the militia movement.
Many militia members and leaders were radical gun-rights advocates, people who believed that, in fact, there could be no such things as illegal firearms and whose anti-government ire was formed in large part because of fear and suspicion of imminent gun confiscation.
In the early 1990s, several prototype militias had emerged in Connecticut and Florida on the basis that members of the "militia" were exempt from federal gun laws.
In 1992, Larry Pratt, leader of a radical gun- rights group and an advocate of the formation of militias, issued a statement in the wake of the Rodney King riots urging the Los Angeles Police Department to "take advantage of what the Founding Fathers called the unorganized militia" in order to forestall further unrest.
Many people initially joined the fledgling militia movement largely as a way to protect more aggressively their right to bear arms; even today, gun-related issues dominate many of the newsletters published by militia groups.
