102. Read and learn more about the REAL WORLD
Edited on Tue Apr-06-04 10:11 AM by slackmaster
Even here in California where we HAVE a gun registry, people who are supposed to be disarmed aren't.

A search warrant requires probably cause. For guns, that can be either a registration record or sworn testimony that the person has one or more firearms. When a Restraining Order is in place, a search warrant is not needed - A phone call from the plaintiff is enough reason for police to search a restrainee's premises.

Yet even with these powerful tools in place GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING ITS JOB when it comes to disarming known prohibited people.

It really makes me angry when I see people on this forum who haven't really thought the matter through all the way to its logical conclusions, bleating and braying about the "need" for a gun registry in this country. Sometimes I have to wonder who they are really working for. Do you people really want to make sure the GOP stays in power? I surely don't.
