Just don't register it, most people won't do it either… I won't!
It’s simply propaganda and a way of government imposing restrictive control
over its law-abiding citizens.
I’ve read reports stating that the new regulations have even hampered our
own Olympic rifle and shorting teams. Because the majority of our Olympic
shorting and archery athletes are not professional, the restrictions affect
them even more than the average individual. We tried to oppose the
legislation that implemented the new laws, but fear and ignorance conspired
to pass the new act.
I remain,
