BTW why would I need a bill of sale for guns I own?
I might understand it for one I sold, if it traced back to me somehow

To help your lawyer prove that a gun wasn't in your possession when a
crime was committed with it.

How does a piece of paper do that? Cops put the gun in your hand with
forensic evidence.

If the gun can't be traced to me, how go they even show up at my door
in the first place.

I get a kick out of how you continue to give reasons that registration
is a good idea, while arguing against it.

I also get a kick out of how both you and John are only concerned about
the gun ever being traced back to the original owner. That's not the
benefit of registration.

The "too big to manage" argument doesn't hold up either. There are
several examples of huge data bases managed by the federal and state
governments that run smoothly and efficiently. One is a reporting
system here in MA that registers a firearm to a new owner when
transferred to him in a private sale. All done on-line and doesn't cost
a penny,
