One of the investigations recommendations from last year's Ft Hood shooting is to require all Soldiers to register privately owned weapons, not just those brought into post.

Your thoughts?

You wont find me doing that! Just because i dont want to doesnt mean im doing anything illegal. I prefer not to let anyone know what or how many i may or may not have on my own private property. My 2 cents.

Absolutely not. It's a great way for those in government to track us and later try to take away our weapons. I'm of the same mind-set as Charlton Heston: They can have my guns when they can pry them from my cold, dead hands. I support both open and concealed carry.

Bullcrap like this overreacting garbage is why I am so glad I got out when I did. The REAL PROBLEM wasn't unregistered weapons, it was MILITARY PEOPLE made unable to shoot back. If you're going to trust them in war, trust them in peace.

Not a fan; I trust no branch of government, from the local school board to the Feds, having a list of gunowners. Moreover, per Haynes v. U.S., people legally barred from possessing a firearm cannot be prosecuted for failing to register a weapon as doing so would violate their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination.

It will solve nothing. The biggest problem is NOT weapon registration, the biggest problems are making bases gun-free zones and letting Mohamedans into the military.

Absolutely opposed. That registry can be shared with local law enforcement and subsequently used to grant a search warrant for weapons deemed illegal by local municipalities/states.

The answer is almost always more freedom, not less. Arm the Armed Forces!
