My apologies for not keeping up with your rigorous posting schedule. It is summer, so I prefer to spend my time outside, rather than atrophying behind a keyboard...
So felons break the law already with regards to possessing firearms? No way!
Care to share a link supporting how felons are buying firearms from your "legitimate sources"?
Funny, the Dems could have supported Tom Coburn's proposal regarding private sales and background checks, but alas, they could not, as registration was not part of it. Thus, it seems that the Dems priority in this matter is not safety at all, but registration...
Carolyn McCarthy is the gift that keeps on giving...

And what exactly is the big bad left wing coalition doing with all these names they have? Cracking down harder on them for being gun owners? I don't get the big picture there. What's the motive? Where's the story?

Once they get the list, they're coming for your guns.

Ohio can fuck up anything.
"Oh the irony. An Ohio man was shot in the arm. At a gun safety class."

Being afraid of a gun registration list is like being afraid of the monsters under your bed or the boogeyman. It's irrational and moronic.
At least most of those who worry about monsters under their beds are 3-6 and grow out of it.

I disagree with you
so, we all just made a big fucking deal about the NSA's internet monitoring but we're cool with gun owner registration; got it
There's absolutely NO difference between car registration and gun registration.
It's lunacy to think gun registration would negatively impact gun ownership. Well it could stop "private sellers" from selling their weapons to felons. Of course that would be a bad thing. If the guy you're selling your Glock to says, "I'm not a felon", that should be enough.
Who cares if you just armed a killer? You got your cash and the evil government doesn't need to know.

there's a big difference, and it's been expanded upon numerous times.
There's nothing in the Constitution that says gun registration is wrong or illegal. In fact, it's much more logical that the Founders would have expected it to be OK. Having a gun registry would have made forming a local militia far more efficient.
The concept of fear of government confiscation or knowing what guns you have is ludicrous. The idea that not knowing who has what would stop the government from attacking you is as antiquated as taking a covered wagon to get from the east to the west.

so, in your world, having a big list the Crown could've consulted would've been better for the colonial militia?
The Crown had been excised by that time. The militias were used to protect our country. That was their purpose. So yes it would have helped our new country.
Today it's irrelevant other than to stop crime. If the government wants to kill you, they can and you won't even know about it until it's too late.
The concept that having guns keeps the government honest in the 21st century or that having guns would stop a military takeover of the US is nonsensical.

in my opinion, it has nothing to do with protecting myself from the government.

I still don't understand why the General Assembly didn't change the rules to allow for guns in the legislative building.
A) They have a right to protect themselves as do visitors. You never know when one of those marauding gangs of gun-wielding felons will show up.
B) It would help keep the government honest.
C) It would deter those morons from protesting on Mondays.

Then there is no reason not to have a registry. Having a registry and 100% background checks (with serious penalties for not doing them) will lower the number of guns sold to those who shouldn't have them.
FIFY
RJ do you want a gun registry that is available to the public or just government officials? There would be big problems IMO it was available to the general public
