Nope.
The universe doesn’t actually give a crap what you do. Some people seem to think that they are the direct target of these things.
Look at the number of 4473 violations that aren’t followed up on, crime in general that isn’t gone after. Now you think that they are going to name 10% of the phone book? How many of these could even a large county serve a day? 3? Most less than 1?
Could it be abused? Sure. You can get SWATed right now with almost the same end effect.
We always say that it is the person, not the guns. When they actually play the person, and not the guns, you have to support at least the concept. I am frankly, I don’t understand why we actually even need the laws. Either someone is a threat to the community and need to be dealt with, or they’re not. Guns or not it really doesn’t make a difference.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
