I am with you on this, Phil. There is another sinister side to this. If the government wants to take away guns and ammo, it must convince the banks and credit card companies to turn over customers' purchase histories. This has already been proposed. And if they want to remove your gas ovens, ditto. Cash and barter are the only ways around this. Sadly, the younger generation abhors cash, and many no longer carry it. Most people will let convenience trump freedom.
