What's comical is how this is mostly a political issue for some of the gun nuts. I'm not going to throw out percentages, but i'd be willing to bet a good portion of those resisting this are conservative, voted for Bush and then McCain, and had no problem with the government heading down this crazy slippery slope with our freedoms, as long as it was under the mask of 'keeping the country safe'.
"Go ahead, wire tap me illegally, infringe on the freedom, and basically shit on the Constitution our forefathers fought to protect"
then months later...
"Wait, a black man wants to take my m16? Our forefathers fought for this freedom!" (even though he's not even thinking of taking away handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc)
