Six states and the District of Columbia require registration of some or all firearms. Hawaii and the District of Columbia require the registration of all firearms, California maintains a database of gun transfer records, and New York requires the registration of all handguns through its licensing law.10 Hawaii, New York, and four other states also have a registration system for certain highly dangerous firearms, such as assault weapons. These states generally ban such firearms, but allow the continued possession of grandfathered weapons if they were owned before the ban was adopted and are registered. For more information about such laws, see our summaries on Assault Weapons, 50-Caliber Weapons, and Large Capacity Magazines.
Additional states require the reporting of firearm sales and transfers to a state or local agency, which maintains these records. For information about such laws, see our summary on Maintaining Records of Gun Sales. California and Maryland also require new residents to report certain firearms that they bring into the state.
Conversely, eight states have statutes prohibiting them from maintaining a registry of firearms except in limited circumstances.

I copied that from the Gifford Center, which I shouldn't have because the site is replete with faulty information and disinformation.  It really is bad.

But in this case it will suffice.

I've explained before how "assault weapons" are no more deadly than any number of nonassault weapons that use the same ammunition and can fire just as quickly.

This discussion leads me to an old story, and it just dawned on me.

Up until about 5 years ago, there was this guy (George) in our marina. He had a newer 65 Sea Ray Sundancer.

Looked something like the below. Anyway, almost every day he would head out of the marina, and go the same direction every time. He'd be back in about 5-6 hours, every time. He'd show up to the marina with a cooler on wheels, and a large roller luggage bag.

We were leaving the marina about the same time, and he was first. I slowed, then followed him to track the course, for about 2 miles. Of course, I kept my distance. Anyway, his course was taking him to Michigan City, IN.

One weekend we came up, and his boat was covered with orange flagging, so we walked over to have a look.

It was chained to the cleats on the dock, with locks, and it was marked USCG - SEIZED.

Now I know what he was doing, and how he could afford that boat and his Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

He was running guns, and he got busted, finally. I'm now sure of this. It makes perfect sense.

Yes, but we are in a different slip now.

There was another seize about 5-6 years ago, on our dock. Polish dood who claimed to be a "contractor" got busted bringing Polish women into the US, from Canada. He was running across the St. Clair River, from Sarnia to Port Huron, and apparently had been doing so for YEARS.

847 that reminds me of a story in the '80s .The USCG busted a Canadian Commercial Fishing trawler in US waters on Lake Erie.They were Perch/Walleye Poaching .They incarcerated the crew and docked the vessel in the Port of Lorain I believe.Anyway the company posted bail for the crew and the next day after sundown the crew stole the boat and got back into Canadian waters.Not sure what happened after that but the crew was from Portugal - ballsy move.Think the brainiacs at the USCG would have pulled a few ignition cables

Yeah, that's why the policy is to now chain it down. And you ain't cutting these chains or locks without a torch, at least. Operating a torch near a boat is not advised...

Can't go to a bar in Chicago starting Friday, but the pot stores are open.

Let's all sit home and stay stoned, all day long!!! What could go wrong?
Yeah they should probably shut down liquor stores too. Can't have people sitting around at home getting drunk all day. What could go wrong?

Played first round of golf in 5 years today.

Scored better than I expected at a 97. Strategy was not to pull a club longer than a 5 iron. Sure, limits me to 210-220 of the tee, but I can hit it straight.

A lot could go wrong. How much time you got for me to tell you my stories?

Interesting. 

I wonder how much more efficient it is to run guns that way instead of by land. Granted, you could get to Michigan City rather than have to go to the gun spots in The Region.

It's been a few years since my roommate in Indiana had a couple guns. He seemed to indicate the laws there were highly lax.

Can't be sitting at home. Gotta be drunk on the boat, with someone else driving.

OK, so maybe tomorrow?? I am at "home" now, in Palatine.


All serious now.. I NEVER drink when I drive my boat. Bottle to throttle is 10 hours. Great Lakes are 0.02 BAC. That's like one beer, or maybe two??

My USCG Master Captain license is in play. That was too hard to get, to lose it on stupidity.
