  I have what is called "dry DSL" from AT$T. I do not have a landline. I am , however, charged an extra ten dollars monthly because I do not have a landline.

  "If it would stop at register the gun, I would be all about it. If the Gov came forward and said.. look guys, register all your guns so we at least know what gun is where and who's got what, and that will be the end of the gun control conversation, then fine... I would be first in line. But it never stops at just that. They would take more and more until suddenly, you had no rights at all."
