[EL] National Registry...?

[George Korbel]

Well why not a national identification card. Proof of citizenship, passport, list of weapons in home and embedded health history all in one.  I am a citizen. I have 7 guns and i wear the most relevant part of my health history around my neck. 

When I come back from foreign countries the card passport would warn govt as to where I had been.   

They know all about us any way. Why beat around the bush.

There is no systematic check of voter registration rolls by states to find non-citizens, and the relevant federal agencies refuse — in direct violation of federal law — to cooperate with those few state election officials who attempt to verify citizenship status.

I cannot believe it has taken this many years to turn conventional wisdom on its head Doesn't the Old Dominion Study comment on the elections of 2008, 2010 and 2012? I don't remember. And it is far from the only evidence we're getting. You might see, now, one of several reasons why defenders of the Constitution are none-too-sanguine leaving the fate economic liberties entirely to the turn of political processes.
