Given your personal experience, I think I can see where you are coming from, but - I respectfully submit that times, and the police outlook, have changed, greatly, from your grandfather's day. Too many of today's officers would have have felt quite at home in the Germany of the 1930's.

I have no idea what being a prior marine has to do with registering guns. I know many former marines, and, to a man, they oppose same.

You and I will have to seriously disagree, but, this is not a political forum. I'm done.
