How does this registry help "save lives" when crimianls who are inclined to commit crimes in the first place will not care one iota about being in viloation of this registry act?
ReplyDeleteWe can hear all the blather we like about how it is running smoothly and is cost efficient. There have already been security breaches with this registry. There is NO way that the way, WAY overblown initial costs of the registry can EVER be justified. 2 billion dollars buys a lot of MRI machines when there are hospitals that desperatley need them and we KNOW for a FACT that they save lives.
And not just in violation of this act, even IF they were curiously inclined and stupid enough to register the weapons they use to commit violent crimes, but the illegal weapons that were never registered in the first place.
