REGISTRATION AND TRAINING TO OPERATE ALL VEHICLES

We all have to take driver's tests to get and to renew an operator's license and we usually provide evidence of insurance in order to get license plates to operate a motor vehicle, and all of our vehicles are registered and licensed. If this is important enough to do with your auto or truck, why is it not just as important to do this with your guns?

Gun registration and training and testing with rules and regulations do not hamper your Second Amendment rights if you are safe and sane and responsible as an American citizen. But with guns, there is another added problem: the possibility of gun-running for profit from states with loose laws to supply the crazed demands for firearms in inner city ghetto areas where being armed is like living in Wyatt Earp's times of the Wild West.

Years ago, the U.S. Congress passed a Uniform Commercial Code to standardize paperwork for much of interstate commerce. Today's need for up-to-date gun laws requires us to develop a modern registration system, administered nationwide by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).

Why is this important?

Just look for yourself at the variances in requirements in the 50 state laws regarding ownership and use and transport of firearms.

We need a uniform system - to be developed by Congress and good in all parts of America and its possessions and territories.

This whole system is out of date and out of touch with reality. There is undocumented but widespread profiteering from gun-running from the south which has extremely loose and lax laws, transporting stockpiles of weapons to northern cities for resale at blackmarket prices to those who should not have a gun. This pandering feeds on the fears and fantasies and cravings for security and power by those who know no opportunity than the rule of the jungle - to take by force.

THE USELESS CARNAGE OF INNERCITY INNOCENT YOUTHS BY IRRESPONSIBLE GHETTO GANGBANGERS MUST END - BY OUR TURNING OFF THE SPIGOT OF SUPPLY OF WEAPONS TO IDIOTS.
