You don't see the inherent contradictions in this statement? I can only assume, no.
Quote:Not one lawful gun owner will be punished by laws requiring registration or licensing. The laws will only punish the ones who break the law.
You say this with the obvious assumption that all newly enacted laws are good laws that deserve to be followed. You have already seen a perfect example of this in Colorado with their "high capacity" magazine ban. The citizenry largely refused to follow this law.

Just because a bunch of politicians pass a law does not mean only a criminal will refuse to follow said law. For a defense attorney you put a lot of faith in the power of the state. Wait, I should rephrase that, you only appear to do so in regards to gun laws, certainly not in regards to the actions of law enforcement officers.
