Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Oh Man... I sure hope THIS doesn't catch on elsewhere!! DC Requires Gun Owners to Re-Register Firearms Every Three Years If it happened here it'd probably be the DMV* who'd handle it... *Department of Mindless Villains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lafitte Why have them register their guns when it's the revenue stream that DC wants. Crack, nuts, head and psychos don't have money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, I'm sure we all remember this: https://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/05/21/influential-chicago-alderman-to-craft-gun-amnesty-for-himself/ Chicago Alderman Richard Mell owns a variety of shotguns, rifles, andpistols, but forgot to re-register them, which makes the handgunspermanently illegal and unregisterable under Chicago law. Since hewants to keep his handguns, he is proposing a 1 month registrationamnesty period. The catch? It would only apply to people who happenedto have failed to re-register in the same time frame as him. Chicago’sMayor Daley endorses this plan, which is designed to benefit aninfluential alderman, while the vast majority of Chicago’s law abidingcitizens will be left without the ability to keep a handgun to defendthemselves. For more than 20 years, Chicago has required that all firearms beregistered, and if the yearly registration lapses for a handgun, thatgun become illegal and can never be re-registered. Chicago also bannednew handgun registration for over 20 years, which means that unless acitizen had a handgun before the ban, and has re-registered it everyyear, an ordinary Chicago citizen cannot have a handgun. Long guns canstill be registered. That is how Chicago’s handgun ban, and draconianrestrictions on long gun ownership, work. Chicago Alderman Richard Mell owns a variety of guns, includinghandguns, rifles, and shotguns. He forgot to re-register them on time,and was thus prohibited by law from possessing them in Chicago. Alderman Mell admitted that he knew about the re-registrationrequirement, and should have complied with the law. Mell stated that hedelegated the responsibility to a staff member of his, who apparentlyfailed to complete the registration. Unlike ordinary citizens ofChicago, who would have to accept that fact that they could never againlawfully own their handguns, Alderman Richard Mell decided to use hispolitical power for personal gain. Alderman Mell is proposing anamnesty that would allow him, and citizens who happen to have failed tore-register between May 1, 2007 and April 1, 2008, to re-register theirguns within a 1 month period. This is an unprecedented, narrowly tailored, amnesty, crafted by apolitician who wants to legally keep his guns, while denying the rightto the overwhelming majority of Chicago’s law abiding citizens. Itwould not allow people whose registration just lapsed to re-register andkeep their guns. It would not allow people whose registration lapsed 2years, 5 years, 10 years, or 20 years ago. Instead, this amnesty wouldallow Chicago Alderman Richard Mell to keep his guns. Chicago’s Mayor Daley, who himself benefits from gun carrying, taxpayer sponsored bodyguardswhile denying Chicago citizens the right to have a handgun for selfdefense, endorses this idea as well. Daley claims his support is notdue to the influence of Chicago Alderman Richard Mell, but due to adesire to “realistic handle on the number of guns in Chicago.” Lettingjust a tiny portion of the people who missed their re-registration datere-register will not give any meaningful information about the number ofguns in the city of Chicago. This is because most of the people whoseregistration lapsed are not lucky enough to have had their registrationlapse just as the influential Alderman’s registration lapsed. Eventhose who are lucky enough to meet the proposed amnesty requirements maynot have their guns any longer, since it would be a misdemeanor forthem to possess the gun at this moment. Finally, criminals didn’t haveregistration for their illegal guns to begin with, so they certainlyaren’t going to re-register their guns that they are not allowed by lawto own.

Clay Mosby Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Isn't it disgusting how many of the most fanatical anti-gunners have armed protection at all times? It must be a great feeling to think that you're so important that only you are worth protecting. NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ron, I knew it was an old piece, hence my opening comment about being sure we all remembered that. My point was to illustrate that re-registration wasn't a new concept. And also, to point out that the antis tend to have one law for themselves and another for everyone else. I seem to recall that alderman blaming his secretary for not getting the paperwork filled out on time.Daley may not be Mayor anymore, but his Machine is still running Chicago.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Redstone Arsenal (RSA) started a new policy in 2013 that all firearms brought onto RSA must be registered, checked for stolen, and background run on the owner. And will be checked each year thereafter. The purpose: "To assist the commander in carrying out effective law enforcement, crime prevention, and safety program." http://www.redstonemwr.com/recreation/pdf/h&f/firearmregistration.pdf Total BS!!! I will not be hunting or shooting on RSA because I refuse to participate in this farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Houston, Tx in 1964/65 all personal firearms had to be registered with the MPs if you had them onpost. Had to register a shotgun and deer rifle I used for hunting as I kept them in our company supply for safe keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
