A common-and persuasive-argument against gun registration is that those who comply just put themselves on a list to have their firearms stolen by government officials in the future. As if to emphasize the point, the New Zealand government recently confiscated firearms licenses and the guns they covered from 62 people because of their political ideology.

They were stripped of their firearms licenses because they were no longer considered "fit and proper" to possess them.

"For law-abiding American gun owners, the Kiwis' plight should serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of firearm registration, especially when coupled with a government that doesn't care about an individual's inherent rights, such as the right of their citizens to defend themselves and their families," cautions the Second Amendment Foundation.


That can't happen in America! We don't have a gun registry.

Oh yeah? Concealed carry permit? You're on a list. Buy anything gun related with a card? You're on a list. (SB24-066 signed into law) Buy a gun through an FFL? Suppressor? Belong to a gun related internet forum?

With the push by the left to legislate "hate speech" and the willingness of leftist controlled legislators to write new laws, gun confiscation due to political beliefs could happen in our country sooner and easier than you think.
