Here we go again

As I understand it from this distance, Dean's right about data---in effect, registration---and all data is accessible to federal authorities, in effect a national database. Right?

While the US gun scene appears less restrictive than Canada's ---cc everywhere, footloose and fancy free--Canada's is significantly less onerous with sporting long-gun transactions.

Handguns are strictly regulated but in day-to-day buying and selling it's private business as long as each has passed a safety course and has possession and acquisition license.

Government doesn't know which guns I have, bought or sold. An earlier government introduced a registry but it was overturned with popular assent.

Another interesting thing here in Ct. Many but not all PDs when they run a license plate it will show if that person has a pistol permit. They can also check what firearms they own because the DPS-3 where sent to them.
Last week a customer of ours was pulled over( tail light out) and when the Police Officer approached the vehicle and asked for his license and registration he remarked that our customer owned alot of firearms. Our customer a gentleman in his 70s replied that yes he does and that he is very active in cowboy action shooting and asked the officer if he ever wanted to join him he was welcome. The Cowboy action shooting ( rifle,shotgun and revolver) got me thinking about 3-gun ( AR type rifle,shotgun and pistol) and how similar they are. But I can easily see how some who have posted here would be accepting of the cowboy action shooting(they posted pictures of the pretty SAs they own) but would turn there nose up at 3-gun. To bad we are divided as gun owners. And some can't see the similarities. The firearms I like are the ones with triggers. I like some ( old shotguns) better than others but I surely don't look down my nose at you if your firearm hobby is different than mine.

I guess it is different state to state on registration for fire arms. Also a cop here can run your vehicle tags and know if you have a chl or not. Don't think he knows what you own though. Texas is pretty tuff on standing up for rights like gun laws. As a matter of fact Texas is suing the government over this gender bathroom stuff in schools. I will be the first to admit it's getting real squirrelly in some places. On a different note. Should I reload bismuth , Itx or nice shot. For ducks with my old sterlingworth ??? What do u guys think about which is best the duck hunting will be on stock ponds over decoys. Thanks
