Property rights contracts, sure let the government in there.

Feel the same about women's health issues. I'm a man, it's not my body, therefore it does not infringe on my liberty and I am not bothered by it. I do understand as a man between the age of 18-45ish I will be subsidizing their healthcare but I freely entered into those insurance contracts, well until ACA, which I'm not entirely upset about, just think it could be done better and cheaper with equal or greater results i.e. Japan.
right on. pretty much the same on my part.

And while I don't really understand gun (or gay) culture, I don't begrudge legal use and ownership of firearms (or what two dudes do in the privacy of their home).

I don't for the life of me understand why we don't keep track of guns though. My kids get a birth certificate when they are born, my car, my boat, my home are all titled or ownership is recorded in a public record. Shoot, even my voter registration is a matter of public record.

Could someone 'splain to me why gun reg is such a no-no?

Historically registration is the first step to confiscation. It's holding the line as the anti-gun lobby has crossed the line in many liberal states such as my own.

I'm ok with gun sales requiring background checks and taking place at FFLs. But to track the citizenry is just something in concept I'm opposed to.

Devils advocate here: Can you support this claim with statistical fact? My car is registered, and it can kill people, and if use it improperly too many times they take my licence away. Could be considered over reach, but do you want a proven crazy diver on the streets while your kids are playing?
