Legislation Restricting Repair Of Firearms -- 01/13/2003

Beware of legislation such as this! You will see this "covert" gun-grabber
legislation pop up again and again................

************
Reading through some older digests I saw this.

Let me offer you an insight on how the camels nose was put under the door on
registration shotguns over here in Norway:

Traditionally and up until 1998 you could buy any shotgun without any paperwork
here.

Hunting has traditions going back to well before the Blacl Plague over here,
and sice that date, when we where fortunate enough that the noblemen perished
in the plague, both as landowners and a political force, land-ownership and
hunting rights has been extended to all citizens by law, together with the
right for "needed hunting guns to pursiut their hunting rquirements"

Then "they" clamped down and now we have to apply for a gun permit for each
shotgun, and are threatened to sell other guns, "to make room" for the next
one, or make an argument demonstrating "extra or special need".

The interesting thing is, that when "they" decided we shoulds register shotguns
(and sooner or later we will be forced under law, to after-register older guns
also, but the jury is still out on that one), they already har a pretty good
idea WHERE modern guns where:

For more than 10 years there was regulations in place, demanding that every
time a shotgun was sold, the sale, date, with customer name and registration #
of each gun was to be recorded in a registered ledger, provided by the state to
each gun-vendor in the country.

That way, if needed, "they" could trace each gun from the original buyer.....

I imagine that any real fight against shotgun registration from hunters
organisations, most probaly would have been met with a threat on banning and
confiscation of already (clandestine) registered guns, and that the members of
said organisations would have been singled out in the first row....

Never thrust politicians waving with a piece of paper, it could spell out our
doom and destiny...
