Let's be clear - ANY type of arms licensing or registration is UNconstitutional. Whether it is at a federal level, or the State level - it gives govt agencies control over a personal Right that is absolute. ANY licensing scheme allows those in power another way of controlling the flow of arms, and it gives them the ability to confiscate them whenever THEY deem it necessary.

History has shown that registration ALWAYS proceeds confiscation. There is NO other need for it. Fighting crime? Not likely - criminals are immune from registration laws because they are incriminary. It's ONLY purpose is to give those in power, or their agents, a way of knowing where & what arms are held by the people. Once guns are registered, a ban will be set in place, and a time limit will be granted to turn them in. After voluntary surrender of "contraband" guns fails - the agencies of the state/feds will subject the people to search and seizure of arms - conducted under the color of an unconstitutional law. Once confiscation begins, compliance and allegiance with the govt will be FORCED upon the people by these illegal search and seizures, and what else is that but tyranny? A government that demands the people's allegiance, while at the same time is disabling a protected natural right by prohibiting them from protecting themselves, is no government at all, but a criminal conspiracy among the public officials constituting it; it is an illegal combination in charge, not a govt of the people. At the State level, the very institution required by law to fight unlawfull combinations - the Miltia - is rendered useless. {Militia Act 1792: whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings,...it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such state to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed}.

This is why States and localities also cannot enact any general "gun-control" statutes; they undermine the very existence of the Militias as the armed body of the people - which the Constitution mandates and requires, and which the States and their subdivisions are subject to as "the supreme Law of the Land". When a State enacts such laws, they infringe on the indivdual Right that goes hand in hand with the Militia clauses, and so they deprive Congress the ability to fulfill IT'S DUTY to provide for arming (always accomplished by the people themselves) the Militias: it specifically contradicts one of the 1st ways Congress accomplished this duty - which was by clearly protecting the people's Right to keep and bear arms by proposing what became the 2nd Amendment to the people. It further opposes the duty placed on the federal government by disarming the Miltias - which can not be used by the President as required and guaranteed in the Constitution - to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, repel invasions, and help ensure each state has a republican form of govt.

The 1st Congress knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they enumerated and protected certain unalienable rights, and then made sure those protections were absolute, as part of the supreme Law of the Land. When America reaches the point at which any Congress, or any police-State agency, unconstitutionally demands: "Register your arms", know it will be followed by: "Turn them all in!" ...the only response for us other than accepting the slave's shackles placed upon us by tyrants due to the loss of our liberty will have to be "MOLON LAVE!"

No more compromise - OUR posterity demands it of us.
