So, when can we expect you to register your computer? Without complaint? n/t krispos42 Jun 2012 #41

Your computer is already "registered" by your IP address. SecularMotion Jun 2012 #43

you have that confused with MAC address. gejohnston Jun 2012 #50

But I use a PC Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #51

Thanks, I know the difference between an IP address and a MAC address. SecularMotion Jun 2012 #52

Would you count the NSSF? Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #49

I'm surprised you'd even ask question -- might as well quote NRA, Free Republic, Soldier of Fortune, Hoyt Jun 2012 #64

what sources are those? NT. gejohnston Jun 2012 #65

This is as objective as some site frequented by right wingers and/or those who profit from guns. Hoyt Jun 2012 #71

I agree, it is about as objective as GOA gejohnston Jun 2012 #73

NSSF is pretty tame, really. Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #67

If a site that promotes more gun is tame, what do you normally read? Hoyt Jun 2012 #69

Different mindset, different standard. Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #74

It's a "trade association for the firearms industry." It's not for sportsmen -- excepting selling Hoyt Jun 2012 #77

You don't understand that what you are asking for is nothing but a pipedream... Clames Jun 2012 #96

Well, yes, actually... it does. PavePusher Jun 2012 #81

It will help catch the Zimmermans who run. Guess you are against that. Hoyt Jun 2012 #82
