I'm a Grock basher... I can't stand them, 2x4 in the hand. But, they go bang when you pull the trigger, and Sara Brady hates it and so despite my personal perferences, I have no problems with other people buying a grock..
That said;
This situation is like your wife coming home, and finding you in bed with another woman (Sara Brady/60 Minutes) and you can say all you want to, "It's not what it looks like honey, I can explain". And when your wife storms out and you are served with divorce papers the next day, you complain about how you weren't given a chance to explain.
The situation is bad, no explaination needed. Anything that is said later on is simply damage control, that's it.
I have a friend who specializes in "data-mining" which is basically what this is. Yes, what he said is true; but if I then add a manditory gun purchase registration, then I can link ballistics to a serial number, and a serial number to you, and so that means I can link ballistics to you.. Because gun-fingerprinting is so inaccurate, I might be charged with a crime that I was nowhere near! That thought alone brings out the 1984/Brave New World fears in me..
For those who read SQL:
SELECT name, address, phone FROM registrants WHERE ballistics.glock = glock.4473
AND registrants.4473 = name.registrants
A simple database call, and I have linked a ballistics to a person's name.
It's for confiscation folks, plain and simple. If you can't read the writing on the wall, then learn to read SQL.
