Gun registration always leads to gun confiscation. That is the lesson of history. That is what happened in the UK, Australia and countless other countries. Keep in mind that President Obama and Hillary Clinton constantly say they would support an “Australian style solution” to gun crime, which means they are saying they would support the wholesale confiscation of guns owned by law-abiding citizens as was carried out by the Australian Government. Of course before a government can confiscate guns it must first know who owns them and where they live, as was the case in Australia where legal gun owners must all be registered and licensed.
============================================
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano alleged Thursday that the Obama administration is violating a federal law prohibiting the federal government from compiling the personal information of gun owners during an interview Thursday on Fox and Friends.
During an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Napolitano said that the federal government may gather statistical information about gun owners but must “destroy” any personally identifiable information, such as their names and addresses.
A recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “did not always comply” with the restriction.
“Congress decided that since the states regulate guns — not the federal government — the federal government would never be able to keep a list of every gun owner and every gun owned by that person,” Napolitano said. “But they are.”
Napolitano added that the report “shouldn’t surprise us.”
“It’s reprehensible, it violates federal law, it violates a Supreme Court opinion, it violates our natural right to self-defense, which is protected by the Second Amendment,” he said.
Napolitano argued that a president or administration who doesn’t “believe in the right to bear arms” could use the list as a means to “harass” citizens with opposing views or even to “confiscate” guns.
