[QUOTE="Texan, post: 153353, member: 416"] You're talking about two different things. The only possible reason to register firearms is so that they would know where they're located. For future confiscation? Hopefully not, but always possible. Looking at what has happened in other countries with firearms registration tells us that. The government already knows where the farms/ranches are located, though. They're already on the tax rolls. Aerial photos at the FSA office. If they want to confiscate your farm, they'll get it, anyway. But rapid traceback/traceforward efforts in the event of a disease outbreak like FMD [i]is[/i] about national security, whether you want to admit it or not. And for those of us in the cattle business, it's about all of our financial securities. Our livelihoods. You want to talk about losing the farm? Look at what has happened in other countries with FMD oubreaks that didn't have those rapid tracing capabilities. If you want to disagree with M-ID on the grounds that OT and some others do because of the unknowns and the costs, that's one thing. But don't compare it to registering guns. That's ridiculous.
