Imagine you were dumb enough to fall for a government-run gun buy-back program. They take your weapons, name, banking info (so they can pay you) and then (oops!) leave all that information unsecured online.

Right Before Your Eyes: New Zealand Moves from Bans and Buy-Backs to a National Gun Registry
New Zealand is on a fast-track to gun confiscation. Sure, they are saying that “there is a legitimate need … to access guns, particularly our rural community.” What they mean is, we can’t get them all until we know where they are- so let’s create a Gun Registry.

**Attention All Law Abiding Gun Owners**
Do you want to register your firearms with the government ?
Do you want NH Constitutional Carry repealed?
Do you want a waiting period on all firearms purchases?
Do you want to stop all reciprocity carry agreements between states?
Do you want credit card companies to limit your ability to purchase firearms or accessories? ……..I don’t!
We force you to wear a seatbelt because it will save your life.
by Skip
As stupid an argument as can be said as in “since you OBVIOUSLY won’t take responsibility for yourself, we shall make you take responsibility for yourself”. And if you do not, the force of Government will take away your money (via a fine) or take away your time (with jail time). I am glad to be in the Live Free or Die State that still, at least in this respect, has told the Nanny Staters (both those in-state and those in the Federal Govt that has tried, over and over, to bribe NH officials with our own tax monies) to go pound sand – let adults make this decision for themselves. However, many States have not treated their citizens this way – and started the slippery slope in motion. The slippery slope didn’t start out that way – it was first a mandate to the car companies “you will put seatbelts in cars” rather than letting the marketplace make that decision and proceeded downward from there.
And we see it happening again. As I wrote here, gun control is merely the symptom of a greater disease – those that govern believe they rule instead. They are all too willing to breach the fidelity of the Constitution and the Declaration that Government is instituted by men, and not Government over men (a large difference, in my mind). Government was to protect an Individual’s Rights – and not take them away simply because there is a problem at hand. They have faced the problem – and answered wrongly. They see not an Individual but the collective – and proceed to solve problems from that perspective,and in many cases, throw away and walk away from the ideals on which this Constitutional Republic was born.
We hear all the time that the Slippery Slope doesn’t exist – or that it will not happen. B.S. on that – for here is a prime example of “oh it will never happen because we didn’t want that!”. Cool, bucko, somebody else decided to drop that horizontal negative 70 degrees.
Obama WILL announce a gun registry tomorrow – and some want to track your buns, too
by Skip
Tomorrow is the “rush it through day” for Obama to announce his plans for restricting gun usage as it is clear that he will not let this crisis go to waste. Sure, you can be sure that he knows all of the stats of how violence stats have been going down – it doesn’t matter. And if things go the way I think, he will act as if Congress doesn’t matter either with an overly broad use of Executive Orders (some of which, I believe, will end up in court); one of them will be to establish a gun registry. No, it won’t be a brand new one, but a patchwork quilt of existing information that, all of a sudden, will no longer be deleted. It will just sit there, waiting. For some next crisis.
But once again, we see Government getting what it deserves – see a problem? Government has to enact a ‘fix”. Start meddling in other areas, to “fix” newly perceived problems? All of a sudden, that first “Government fix” is broken – by Government. So, Government being used to “Govt-think”, has a solution! But has it been thought through? Not in this case!
An on-again, off-again move by the Obama administration to scrap the federal gas tax in favor of a pay-per-mile fee would boost the tab to Americans as high as 250 percent, raising their current tax of 18.4 cents a gallon to as high as 46 cents, according to a new government study.
But without a tax increase, said the Government Accountability Office study, the government’s highway fund is going to go dry. One reason the fund is going broke: President Obama’s push for fuel efficient cars has resulted in better mileage, and fewer stops at the pump.
So, cars created a need for infrastructure improvement a hundred years + ago (and notice – cars came BEFORE paved roads; the opposite of what some central planners claim in genuflecting to that movie theme of “build it and they will come”). So Govt put a tax on gas to pay for it. Problem solved? Not really – certainly here in NH, the Highway fund has been bilked for all kinds of reasons other than paying for road repair – and the same goes for other States and the Feds.
