Should the FBI Know How Many Guns You Own?

[dcxplant]

Guns? What guns? As the song goes: ain't no body's business but my own!

What freaked me out about the Katrina aftermath was Blackwater, now known as Xe.

Guns?? I an't got none! They are evil!

They're not going to come and get every gun the same day, so they don't need millions of agents. They'll start by getting "evil" guns from "evil" people. They already started this by prohibiting felons(who served their time) from having guns, and banning production certain types of common weapons. Then just keep expanding it, little by little(misdemeanor domestic violence), until it includes everyone. Of course they also have the entire network of state and local law enforcement to help speed things along.

And it continues. Now minor drug offenses. Next step, any criminal offense. Then, maybe traffic offenses.

Ohio Rev. Code § 2923.13 bans gun possession by (among others) anyone who “has been convicted of any offense involving the illegal possession ... in any drug of abuse.” (Ohio Rev. Code § 2923.14 allows the person to petition for relief from this disability after the person’s prison, probation, and parole is up, but any such relief is discretionary with the court, and turns on the judge’s opinion about whether the person “appears likely to continue to” lead “a law-abiding life.”) Paul Stone had been convicted in 2006 of possession of marijuana, “a minor misdemeanor” under § 2925.11. How minor, in the state’s view? It can’t lead to any jail time; the only possible penalty is a fine of up to $150, plus possibly community service of no more than 30 hours. It isn’t even treated as “a criminal record” for purposes of employment or licensing questions about the person’s criminal record. But then in 2010, he was indicted for felony gun possession under &sec; 2923.13, based on the minor misdemeanor.

What they don't want is people selling guns to felons, or to the Mexican Cartels, or mentally unfit people.

+1. The ATF wants a monopoly on that market.

It doesen't really matter whether they should know or not. Most likely they already do. "No we don't collect and keep those instant check records.......Trust us."

NO.... More intrusition from Sam is unwelcomed.

The Bottom Line.

Just leave me,my Family,my weapons and my property Alone. Then we can all just get along. Isn`t this what America is supposed to be about???.

Yes.

And to answer the original question: No, the FBI has no business knowing how many guns I own.

WACO

Posse comitatus prohibits use of the military within the borders of the United States. The respective National Guard forces report to the governors of the various states and cannot be used by the federal government and of course state police agencies report to the state officials. What you're talking about is not possible.

What about WACO? It sure as hell did!

our Military has been increasingly used in the "war on drugs" and in other areas of Law Enforcement. Mostly the resources of the military, aircraft, radars, surveillance monitors and such...its very frightning. The National Guard has been employed and they really are part of the Military.

Let's stop this talk right now. You're scaring my grandchildren (and their grandfather).

Should "They" Know?

What makes the difference? If "They" know of one do the rest mean anything except extra charges? I really don't care. The CMP sold me some rifles thru the years and there is no hiding now.

Ok I'll stop the talk but it won't make the reality any different.
