Gun registries aren’t always the most popular thing. Odds are most of you reading this would be against registering your guns at the government’s request.

For decades, citizens in Durham County, North Carolina didn’t have a choice.

Going back as far as 1935 Durham County residents were forced to register there guns. The reason they were required to register their guns was owing to Jim Crow-era laws that looked to keep tabs on who was purchasing guns.

Fortunately legislators in Durham County saw the laws as outdated and unanimously decided to repeal them. The question then was what to do with the more than 80 years of collected files.

As Guns.com reported:

The law, enacted in 1935, required gun owners to register their firearms with the county clerk. Repealed by unanimous vote of the state house in Raleigh, attention soon turned to the files themselves, gathered over eight decades.

Durham County’s Superior Court clerk, who is responsible for the files, said they had historical value and called them a time capsule of sorts for gun registration that spanned almost a century. The clerk proposed to donate them to the state archives to endure in perpetuity.

A local gun rights group did not agree, however, and promised legal action if they were not destroyed.

This led to the documents being shredded wholesale Monday after the county cleared their destruction with the state.

And so it was with great joy gun activists were able to witness the collection of documents erased from history.

It’s exactly what should be done with documents of that sort.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say when you buy a gun information about your purchase should be logged in a database.

And gun rights activists know this.

Liberals don’t get it.

And thanks to the hard work of a local gun rights group, liberals were able to see liberty at work.

A local gun rights advocacy group, Grass Roots North Carolina, had long pushed to have the original county ordinance requiring registration repealed.

Then GRNC spearheaded the drive to have the forms themselves destroyed, even going as far as penning a stick-or-carrot letter promising either legal action if the county refused to scrap the forms, or offering to pay for commercial shredding of the documents if they did not.

‘The illegal registry records were shredded per GRNC instructions, although the generous offer to provide assistance were not taken advantage of,’ said GNRC President Paul Valone in an email to Guns.com.

The reversal of obnoxious laws like this can always be viewed as a step in the right direction.

And while this happened at the county level, it needs to be done at the state and national level as well.

Gun registration doesn’t make anyone safer. However, it certainly does do a great deal of damage to individual freedom and liberty.

Right now the pressure is mounting in favor of national gun registries.

We ought to do the same thing with cars and trucks, no license no records no title or registration, it is no ones business who owns or drives a car. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say when you buy a car or truck information about your purchase should be logged in a database nor should you need a drivers license. Vehicle registration doesn’t make anyone safer. However, it certainly does do a great deal of damage to individual freedom and liberty.

Hey, while we're at it, let's do away with all certification and paperwork. We don't need no stinkin' licenses for doctors and dentists nor birth certificates, nor diplomas, nor marriage certificates, nor passports.

Let's just revert to the claw and fang prehistoric world, that so many on the far right lust over.

What could possibly go wrong?

Interesting you should mention that. It has obviously never occurred to you that the "fang and claw" the right wing lusts over is only kept at bay by the threat of more violence than fang and claw is prepared to accept. Do you actually think that violence prone people are swayed by your "come-let-us-reason-together kum-bah-ya bullshit? In a truly Darwinian world, you and Kevyn would not last a week. There would be no one to protect you, and you are incapable of protecting yourselves.

Blacksheep

I had the same thought. While we're at it, let's get rid of all the sex offender records and registrations, health care records, licenses for lawyers, food preparers, medicine makers, canneries, distilleries...... Set them all FREE, FREE, FREE........ :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
