Registration: Only Good for Confiscation

I will not register. Ever.

Australia’s state of New South Wales just ran a “compliance check” on its registered, licensed gun owners. And seized and destroyed some 43,000 weapons “most of which” were firearms. (Hat tip, No Quarters.) The reasons given for the seizures?

Mr Moroney said that, as part of the blitz, thousands of weapons were destroyed because police were not satisfied that the firearms were being kept securely, or that “possession of that firearm was necessarily further warranted”.

Yes, the State, in its infinite wisdom, decided that either the weapons were (in their unassailable opinion) “not being kept securely” or it simply decided that the owners didn’t need them anymore.

This is known among the gun confiscation, er, ban, um, control, that is, gun SAFETY crowd as “common sense gun control.”
