No, I'm not going to register my guns.

137. I agree.

The publishing of the names and addresses of those legal & responsible gun owners who did everything right was an incredibly STUPID thing to do.
Good Luck getting ANYBODY to voluntarily register their guns after that.

MadHound has a long DU history of Common Sense, Independent Thinking and Good Judgement. It is revealing that to some here, he has suddenly morphed into a wild eyed psycho nut.


My Wife & I are Liberals Democrats....AND Gun Owners
We live in a very rural area (Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas) surrounded by National Forest.
We are committed to living as sustainably, independently, and Green as possible.
We grow most of our own food,
keep chickens and Honey Bees,
Veggies, Fruit Trees and various cultivated Berries.
Next year, we are going to add either a few yearling calfs, or pigs, or sheep (haven't decided which yet).

We are staunch FDR Working Class Democrats who own several long guns, and a hand gun.
We maintain them, and shoot them at least twice a year on our rural property.
We keep them all loaded, readily accessible,
but out-of sight and covered on a wall rack in the back hallway.
(We have no children or adolescents in our home.)

We have used them to protect ourselves, our property, our stock and our pets,
and will do so again if the need arises,
though I prefer to Live Trap & Relocate.

At the current time, we are not hungry enough to hunt,
but would do so if the need arises,
and will have the necessary skills and tools to do so effectively and efficiently.
That was Part-of-the-Deal we made when we moved out here from the Big City in 2006.
