Historically, in countries where only the military had guns, only the military (and its military-supported government)and its supporters had rights, food, clothing, education, ......
Just something to think about.

If the government ever out laws ALL guns, which is highly unlikey, they will not have the power to take yours if you bought them before that law was made. Thats in the constitution too. Its known as the "ex post facto" claus. I only advocate registration of high power guns. And I think it should be done on the distributors level. That means, the manufactures and distributiors keep tabs on how many are made, and if the number that is sold doesn't match up, then we know they got into the wrong hand.
