NRA Calls For Anti-Confiscation Pledge: "Under siege from Mayor 
Bloomberg and other anti-gun politicians, the gun lobby fired back 
yesterday with a national campaign to get local leaders to pledge never

(Rule Two: Don't let the muzzle cross anything you're not prepared to 
shoot.)

legislation to repeal the registry of non-restricted firearms.
