Fort Bliss requiring off base troops to register private guns

[Kid Shelleen]

In my fairly conservative state, with a Republican governor, virtually all police seize any firearm they come across, and it ALWAYS costs a lot more in legal fees than the gun is worth to get it back.  The practical effect is government seizure of all firearms it finds.  If the cops come to my house because the neighbors complained about the stereo, they will TAKE any gun they see.  

I liked and agree with everything that your friend had to say, hoverer the statement above concerned me. What state are they from?

Sounds like maybe it's Louisiana. They had a huge gun grab after Katrina.
