I agree that gun control comes in many flavors.

Frankly, I'm not a gun person and don't have
a lot of passion for the issue one way or another.
My overall POV is that constitutional rights
should not be lightly infringed upon.

The reason I even responded to your initial
post is that I find a disconnect between
the liberal left's outcries over the Patriot
Act and anything that is perceived to
threaten civil liberties and its equally
intense proclivity to want to control
lives.

The gun issue raised by the specter of RFID
devices was an excellent illustration. How
can the very same people who advocate radical
forms of gun control be upset about the notion
of RFID devices affixed to guns? After all,
they don't think the public should be entitled
to have guns at all and they want the government
to preclude access.

I would think that those holding that POV would
embrace the RFID idea.

I don't know how I feel about it at the moment
as I haven't studied the issue, and as indicated,
I'm not a gun person anyway.
