Guns

Uncle Bubba has heard some stupid arguments in his day, but the one that's been going 'round lately has got to take the cake. In the debate over gun ownership, the anti-gun argument is, "what's the big deal about registering firearms, you have to register your car." Really? Why do you have to register your car?

In a supposed free society there seems to Bubbie that there's only two reasons to register anything, the first being money and the second to allow the government to track you. When you own something the government wants their piece. You pay taxes when you purchase it and then a registration fee, and/or renewal fees. If you are a live and let live, free, honest citizen of the United States; why do you need to be tracked? In Bubbie's view, while thinking of the list of things that y'all must register, ask yourself why?

Vehicles
Owning dogs and cats
Owning livestock
Getting married
Having a baby
Going fishing
Going boating
Owning a corporation
Owning land
Being a lobbyist
