For those unaware, it's already been federal law for many decades that 18-26 year old men have to register for the draft, and it's a felony not to. This law just makes it so people are less likely to accidentally commit a felony. There still hasn't been a draft since 1973, and if there were one today, it would not go over well

Can't they just say no and risk jail for treason or something? Better than killing innocent people for the state's superficial show of power and attempt at dominance.

And better than becoming meat fodder like in Russia, but I believe they just send them anyway in Russia.
