I logged on to post some more information to a thread, and found it missing.
It was posted in the wrong sub forum and should have been in "Bearing Arms", but what was really disturbing is that someone thought There was something wrong or illegal about unregistered firearms.

This is due (no doubt) to pure ignorance and media propaganda.
The thread was not promoting illegal activity, but simply asked a question,,with a poll.
The first reaction was FUD , and a call to remove the thread and poll. Since this is "My Issue" I attempted to educate. I logged on this morning to expand on the question and the thread disappeared.
I guess FUD wins again.
:(

Do people not know that you can legally own unregistered firearms? (not me, but most folks can)
Do they believe that registration is necessary? (like death or taxes)
Do people not know what FUD is?

Many people believe that all firearms need to be registered or licensed, etc. In addition, most people believe that the waiting period for handguns is nation-wide. What's really silly is that many pigs and lawyers are ignorant to the truth as well. I've seen this kind of thing in movies even, in which there had been mention of a federal registration. People are just ignorant.
