I'm just saying it's an impediment from many coming North of the border. Here we know that gov't registration and strick limitations on firearms, even those primary designed and used for hunting most likely leads to gov't confiscation of firearms. We saw that start to happen during the dark years of clinton. Californian's and other residents in the states are fighting in the courts to keep their basic rights to keep firearms.

It's troubling when gov't tries to make lawbidding citizens into criminals, because they don't trust them to do the things they've done for the most part safely and legally.

Punish the bad ones who are caught planning and carrying out illegal actions with firearms, not the lawbidding average citizens.

I'm not worried about someone trying to cross our borders with a hunting shotgun or rifle anywhere near as much as those evil ones who want to ship weapons that can kill thousands. Terrorists attacked us on 9/11 not with shotguns and hunting rifles, but with things that can destroy much more. That's what we learned on 9/11. Thinking otherwise is chasing after shadows.
