What I was told is that the defeated background check legislation
contained a provision for a 15 year prison sentence for anyone
involved in creating a gun registry. But you know what? I am far
from being considered a liberal or progressive in my overall political
persuasion but I don't see any problem with a gun registry, even
though it was never proposed. It's not a violation of anyone's
constitutional rights to bear arms. The 2nd Amendment doesn't
contain any such language. I think having guns registered to their
owners is an excellent idea. And now I'll hear from all those tin
hat wearers claiming the government is coming to take all the guns
away. Won't happen unless the 2nd Amendment is repealed. What's the
chances of that happening? Zero.




Your problem is that you put too much faith and confidence in the US
government and the
several states' governments not to break the law.

Maybe. But it's a lot better than running around with a tin hat on my
head.



There's no rationality whatsoever among those who oppose background
checks for *all* firearms transactions.
