The likelihood of that happening is fairly remote.  If the Government, be it Federal, State or local, are acting in concert to restrict the sale of ammunition to law abiding citizens, in my mind that is the same as taking away the guns because guns are of not much use without ammunition.  I can foresee a Supreme court challenge to this nonsense if it keeps going.  Registration of any weapon is just another way of restricting access.  A constitutional right is CONSIDERABLY DIFFERENT than registering of cars.  As a previous comment said I have not seen a constitutional right to own a car.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/6505806859411582461/comments/default/6414735390748921133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/6505806859411582461/comments/default/6414735390748921133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/paranoia-is-good.html?showComment=1242684420000#c6414735390748921133' title=''/><author><name>Ken J PA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/paranoia-is-good.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936778445782053358.post-6505806859411582461' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/posts/default/6505806859411582461' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936778445782053358.post-2553043160221926554</id><published>2009-05-12T21:50:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T21:50:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Hmmmm.

I figure that the two pauses at the Police HQ when I dropped off the license paperwork were to run my driver's license and then my fingerprints to see if I needed to be arrested.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Regardless of what they're supposed to do or not do, the Feds are keeping track of those numbers somewhere. Like you said, they're just hiding it better since the first screw-up.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The fact that the system is probably computerized now makes it more likely that the information will never disappear. Never mind the rules for FFL's on how long they have to maintain records. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I had intended to get my FFL but I'm not sure I want to set myself up for random unannounced searches of my house by the ATF. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Here are a few direct quotes from form M5310.3 from the package I received: "You will be required to prepare and keep detailed records of all firearms transactions." "You will be subject to inspection of your records and premises by ATF officers." "When requested by ATF, licensees are required to furnish information regarding firearms traces."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;There might be the answer to your question. The loophole they're using is forcing the FFL holders who handle the transactions to keep their documentation for them.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Keep up the fight, &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Aaron S.

However I am afraid with all the people who are so anti-gun and stand on the "guns kill innocent victims" platform that it won't be an easy trek. What these same people fail to recognize is that the people who are out there killing people will be just as willing to kill someone with their car or any other weapon of opportunity. They are not the ones who are affected by registering guns. Or even buying them legally for that matter. What I dont understand is how our own government can cave and show their total lack of understanding of this need to continue to bear arms for our everyday citizens. I can only wonder what else will come of this administration who doesn't value our Vets, our Constitutional rights or the vote of the masses. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I really enjoy the insight of your posts.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/6505806859411582461/comments/default/3885513044497603850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/6505806859411582461/comments/default/3885513044497603850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/paranoia-is-good.html?showComment=1238212200000#c3885513044497603850' title=''/><author><name>Sassypants Wifey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07250795452919159567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='18288461350526552266'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/paranoia-is-good.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936778445782053358.post-6505806859411582461' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/936778445782053358/posts/default/6505806859411582461' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
