New Mass. Instant Check System Leads to Gun Confiscation

Gun registration leads to gun confiscation. This article from the NYT on Massachusett's new instant background check system is disgusting. A quote:

On Wednesday, for example, moments after a court placed a woman's husband under a restraining order, a notice about the order popped up on a new computer terminal at the police station here. Given that information, the Woburn police went to the man's house and confiscated his guns, all 13 of them.


Later, the reporter quotes a supporter of this police-state gun law as saying he supports it because he "has nothing to hide." Strangely, the supporter with nothing to hide declined to be identified. I wonder if he exists, or the reporter just made up the quote? Probably the latter.
