Another case where Gun Registration leads to Gun Confiscation
As a child, I remember watching the movie Red Dawn starring Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell.
The thing about that movie that really hit a chord with me was a scene when the Soviets had just landed and the commander told one of his lieutenants to go to the gun shops for they would have a list of all the guns owned by the people, thus making it easier for the Soviets to round them up.
Now, while a work of fiction, the concept is sound. If you make a list of everyone who has a gun, it’s easier for an oppressive authority to confiscate them when they don’t want you to have them.
Unfortunately in America, this is not limited to the realm of fiction.
I have spoken about he jackbooted thuggery of New Orleans Police when they went out and forcibly confiscated guns from citizens in the city during the wake of Hurricane Katrina, but those were “innocent” people.
Today I’m going to highlight a story about a “guilty” person. The reason guilty is in quotation marks will become clear.
On October 12th, 2013 Paul Wojdan of Lockport City, NY was arrested and the police looked on his pistol permit and saw it had six guns on it so they went to his house and confiscated all of his firearms.

There should be no gun lists. The NICS back ground check, is to check back ground on buyer. The guns on list are not to be saved. I THINK!!!!
That is correct, however, BATF HAS BEEN in violation of a number of laws for sometime, including the obvious collection of data and not getting rid of it or passing it on where it will remain permanent.
