29. If they are willing to allow the people

Feb 2014

to get rid of their guns after the dur date, why are they not willing to just register them? These gun owners are attempting to follow the law.

If my state required gun registration, I would follow the law with a frw guns and store the rest with people I know from another state. Of course gun rehistration would not pass in the Minnesota legislature. There would probably be more outrage from Democrats than from Republicans.

And if they DON'T? Keefer Feb 2014 #1
