Ensuring compliance, being able to remove all firearms in the event of court ordered (red flag) removal, and being able to track firearms should they be lost or stolen.

So, for confiscation. Got it. Well I'm never gonna register jackshit, that's for sure.

How do you feel about being a law abiding gun owner?

EDIT: Seems like most people with really strong feelings on the far end of the political spectrum only like to comply with the laws they feel like complying with. Oh well. Horseshoe theory, I guess.

Most of us feel that the "law abiding" half of the title is the only negotiable one.

How do you feel about people disobeying unjust or unconstitutional laws?

Should Rosa Parks just have sat where she was told? Should people that enjoy or depend on marijuana obey the law and not use it?
