“Those who forget the past..”
The Navajo Nation is facing Gun Registration. I would love to say that Custer is Alive and Well and head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but no. This time is a fellow Native American that wants Gun Control in extremis.

Gun owners would need to meet several prerequisites in order to walk in line with the law.
