Name one law against things people want that has not caused a massive

Incandescent light bulbs.

There does not seem to be any shortage of 100w incandescent bulbs
If it really became something people wanted in any quantity, they
would be coming in by the truck load.

There's no shortage because virtually nobody wants them.

I think "people want" is variable.
People in Mass wanted gun registration. They got it.
It'll happen federally, when the times comes.
Guns don't care about state borders.

Again, how relevant is gun registration if more than half of the guns
never get registered and nobody who plans to use them criminally ever
registers one.

We've been through this. It's simple mechanisms that get it done.
The gun owning population is much less than that of car owners.
How many cars are unregistered?
If it's decided to register guns, it will be done.
You will be dead before it happens, so you won't hve a say.
That's part of getting it done. Old farts dying off.

Uh, I'd venture to say that an unregistered car is much easier to spot than an unregistered gun. No?


Registration begins upon sale. Nothing to do with size.

I've got a small .38 Chief's Special, unregistered anywhere. How would it get 'done' unless I did
it, or someone searched my house and found it?

Up to you. If it's the law, it's your choice to break it.
