As far as the reason to not register a gun, it goes something like this....

If the gun is registered and they decide to take the guns, they will be knocking on your door asking for your guns that are registered. If you can't produce them, they will likely search your house to find them. In the end, your registered guns are gone.

If you have an unregistered gun, most people aren't going to carry them out in public or in the woods or whatever. The number one reason is going to be self defense of one's family at the home.

If a burglar comes into their home and has a weapon and that person uses an unregistered weapon to kill them in self defense, he may go to jail...just like that fella in Britain...but at least his family will be alive.

I have no problem seeing the logic in that thinking. Of course, this is all just theory.

I would never, ever, ever violate the law myself.

Nope...not me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
