I don't think universal registration, in and of itself, violates the 2nd.


The only constitutional way they can do that is to make it a tax.

That is what the AKA "ban" on machine guns is. NFA34 imposes a $200
tax on a machine gun (more than a Thompson cost in 1934). The fly in
that ointment is you need to pass a background check and get the local
cops to sign off before they will let you buy that tax stamp ... and
it is a lick it and stick it stamp on a BATF form 4.,

Be careful what you are agreeing to.
Do you really want the IRS collecting a tax on every gun you own every
year?

Talk about law breakers!
At the very least, a whole lot more guns would flood the underground
market.


There you go.
gfretwell has spoken on the Constitution.
