Late October hosts the fourth "Trendline" poster. We continue to push for having all five "Trendline" posters and their text online immediately following the November, 2010 election. We believe that's important in case a "lame duck" Congress attempts to steamroll a major gun-control law through our broken legislative system.

        A graphic called "TRENDLINES - REGISTRATION" was posted on 25 October. The poster presents the LIBERTY OATH our family authored in 1999. The oath warns against the aftermath of firearms registration. It took almost a year to get the idea from a page to a paragraph and finally to three lines. The body of the text creates example gun registration laws as a foil for opposing such laws. Arizona Gun Talk suggests methods progressives might use to make lawsuits opposing gun registration difficult. The text describes how a law to "close the gun-show loophole" might be circumvented, It also introduces a concept called "nullification" as a candidate tool to counter gun registration statutes that include confiscation as a penalty.
