Congress passed legislation prohibiting registration of firearms, which was associated with totalitarianism in Germany and Russia.

Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A Robert L. Coleman wrote a column the other day in which he says: "A wise and learned friend reminds that everyone had to register their firearms when World War II broke out, in the event they would be needed in the war effort." [http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080122/OPINION03/80122 0380/1008/OPINION01] I don't think this happened in the USA (if it did, wouldn't you like to see that database for some research). Any ideas where this "wise and learned friend" got this idea -- other than conflating events in Germany and perhaps England? --jcr _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
