I live in the City......I look at this as another feel good bill and that City of Wilmington Council jumped on the band wagon for election season. I repeat....not one of the #$%(ing bills does anything to take guns away from those prohibited or unstable. I see the taxation on firearms being the next step. I will contact a few council members to find out what is up their sleeves. This reminds me that our schools are poor due to limited tax base because of the influx of illegal aliens (which by the way, schools are not allowed to ask) and now by registering and eventually taxing legal gun owners, we will be paying the bills for the illegal gun owners.

Twisted...yes this if for the city, but don't be surprised to see the stae change the law to accomodate the city, and include us.

Agree with you 100%. Some will not see it though until they are tuning in ( or having) their guns taken by federal agents.

There are lots of things they can fix about Wilmington before even worrying about our guns. How about the lack of a father in many households? How about people who keep having kids to keep the checks coming?

Anti-gun politicians worry about how many rounds we carry in magazine or how many rounds one will hold as it relates to crime? If we want to be honest and not worry about inconvenient truths I have an idea that will cut down on crime. I am so sure I would bet my Colt 1911 and my ESP guitar on it along with my Marshall amp. That is how confident I am.

Here is my idea. Instead of worrying about how many rounds our magazines hold worry about how many illegitimate children people are having on the welfare rolls. Someone in public housing, on food stamps, welfare who has no ambition to better themselves has committed fraud by getting pregnant while on the public dough. Since Public assistance is not a right, but a privilege I think norplant as a condition of continuing benefits would probably cut down on the crime rate very significantly over an 18 year period.

Just my thought on something our legislators could work on. The reason they wont is broken homes result in more liberal voters.
