There's no liberal idiocy so useless that the powers that be won't give it a try. Apparently the idea of a library of "ballistic fingerprints" of individual weapons has been germinated and is in the process of coming to fruition. I just got an email regarding an appointment to have the PPPPPP enrolled in aforesaid registry. Something I didn't even ask for or know that it existed. So far investigation turns up that last year this idea was put into the process of becoming a requirement for all legal owners of legal firearms down here. The email gives little information other than the date and time and the requirement that one actually pay for the privilege of having this action committed. Hmmmm... I see a trip to the battalion headquarters coming up. Makes me wonder what they'll be charging for the "privilege".

I got ANOTHER email on the subject - explaining that the former email had been sent out "by mistake" and can be ignored. Still, something's brewing and it does not bode well for honest men. I've got both emails printed for my files, just on general principles. Still waiting for them to come up with something that addresses the issue of violent criminals instead of trying to disarm the law abiding. Yeah, I know...

That seems like a strange 'mistake' to make....
