Don't be surprised if one day we have to submit DNA and fingerprints for owning/buying a gun. If this passes, it's only a matter of time before misdemeanors qualify as well. Then traffic offenses. Then it will be an administrative requirement for carrying. Etc.

It would be nice if people could see two feet in front of themselves. Hopefully Van Hollen has some weight on the issue.
edit: On a side note, if you read the last part of the story you will read about the effort to felonize (is that a word?) another traffic offense. Whether that's a good idea or not, this is another group of people who lose 2A rights. Why? What does one have to do with the other? I believe I mentioned on this forum a while back that we have this continuing tendency to revoke your abilities/rights in one area for violating something completely unrelated.
We have to stop accepting this false logic that we can take rights away from people for reasons that have nothing to do with the rights being taken away. Who will be left when they want to take my rights away?
