Tom Coburn Supporting Registration?
According to this article, Sen. Tom Coburn of OK, a GOA A+ rated candidate and the man ABC News called the single biggest obstacle to gun control said:
"“I think there’s lots of good things that can happen in terms of mental health screening and checks,” Coburn told KRMG-TV Friday.* “If you transfer your car, you have to have a license to transfer, it has to go through that. That’s a responsibility of freedom. I have no problems with us making sure that we don’t allow guns to get in the hands of either felons, or people who are a danger to themselves or other people. … I’m willing to work with Manchin and Schumer on that, and going to.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...s=rss_politics Please contact the Senator and politely explain why this is a bad idea: Senator Tom Coburn Washington D.C.: 172 Russell Senate Office Bldg.

I missed the word "registration" in the article.

Bart, do you want non-Oklahoma TFLers to contact Coburn? I'm happy to drop him a line, but I'm not a constituent of his.

Coburn sometimes goes off on tangents. BTW: The fact that Coburn is a medical doctor may explain his take on gun control.

I think anyone who can make a good, polite, reasoned argument should contact him. I plan to contact him myself, just trying to draft a reply without expletives.
As for requiring a license to transfer, I equate that as being registration. If it isn't at first, it will be soon enough. And you don't need a license to transfer a car, you need one to drive it on public roads - and the registration of cars is ostensibly about paying taxes to support those roads. |

That's it. This man has had staff doing his menial taks of living for too long, and he no longer even knows how the real world works. Besides, the Second Amendment doesn't say anything about a right to transfer motor vehicles. |
