*sigh*

All that means is that people will report someone they don't like as a "manufacturer" to get them into trouble even when it isn't true. And then there are people who just won't comply anyway. Because basically it is a way to force gun owners who modify their own weapons to have to register. It's just another way to get money and screw people.

It won't do jack squat to reduce the number of firearms that are held by people who don't have them legally.

As a brief aside, when my father was a teenager, he had this total miserable cow of a neighbor who for some reason hated him. She used to do the equivalent of SWATting. She constantly called the cops to report him for stuff that didn't happen. She once called the cops and said he was in his basement selling drugs. He wasn't even home. He was at work. Cops swarmed the basement and found it empty.

I also wonder what other things they will change-- and what the rules are on loaning guns to people.

I started thinking about that today because yesterday a friend of mine was approached by a man she didn't know. He appeared to be high as f*** on something. He went and knocked on her door and first asked if she would pay him to mow the lawn. She said she'd have to ask her boyfriend since it was up to him and the guy asked her to get her boyfriend. She said he wasn't available so the guy asked to come inside. She said "No" because she didn't know him. He then asked if her breasts were real and asked her what time she goes to sleep. She shut the door and called the cops, but she was worried he might come back (and the cops here suck) so someone said they would loan her a gun just in case. They aren't allowed to have pets there so they can't have a big scary dog.
