mtbyak.....a few years ago when gun control was in its infantcy,a local radio talk show host finished his hour long program with a quote of the day from " a prominant politican" ......I wish I had it word for word but it went something like this:
......with the new gun registry,the streets of this country will be safer...violent crime will be reduced drastically.....and the criminals who use firearms will be punished more severly.This is not confiscation as law abiding citizens will still be allowed to enjoy their right to hunt and shoot.

( Long pause.........)

Adolf Hitler[:' (]
1940something.....just before banning ALL firearms in Germany during WWII.

I thought this was priceless....
