It makes sense to me that police should have access to a national database of gun owners. If I'm rolling up to a house where there's a reported burglary in progress or some kind of assault going on, I'd want to know if guns are registered for the premises. Wouldn't that advance warning protect gun owners, too, from police reacting badly to the presence of a firearm? Seems as if it'd be safer for both.Yeah, Ron, trust the guys who can't even get their search warrant addresses right. That's some real "safety first" you're giving us there, guaranteed to get more innocent people raided and killed. As we all know, nothing calms a cop down more than a report of a gun. And we need registration to better protect ourselves from dangerous gun criminals who don't register their guns--and as a point of law can't be required to. That's some logic there, Ron.
But perhaps you're right. Maybe if we can stop just one gun criminal, it will be worth it. Does that make sense?

None of it makes a shred of sense.And I feel sorry for all the people who live in that Anti-Gun State,many who leave comments here. Their Rights are being trampled on a regular basis.
That's always a strange attitude. How does the police officer know who is there? Just because no firearm might be registered to that address there is no reason to conclude that no person with a firearm, registered or not, is there at the time. Even perfect, no gun unknown registration cannot solve that problem.

Don't forget how they like to seize the gun(s) and lose, steal, and hold them. Advance warning protects gun owners like better street lighting protects women from sexual assaults. It only makes them feel better, and only for a while. And why do they need a national database on gun owners? Ever hear of the BATFU? 4473? FBI instant check when buying a gun? Anybody out the really believe they're not keeping records on every gun transaction? NFL teams don't talk a lot about it, but they have copious amounts of film on other teams, players, games. If you have power, you use it. They have it, they use it. Besides, they're the Only Ones.
Laws aren't pretty rules that make everything nice. Registration isn't about whether or not we'll have lists of gun owners; it's about whether or not we'll punish gun owners with confiscation, fines and imprisonment for not registering their guns.
Don't buy the lie.
I'm always amazed at people's naïveté. They believe our gov't will always do the right thing, and do it right. Just a simple national database that will only be used for good. And the data in the database will be 100% accurate, all the time. And if doesn't work, well hey, no foul, right? At least we had good intentions. People like this either a) work in a profession that shields them from the realities of our world, b) simply don't take the time to read a little US and world history, and/or c) have become so conditioned over the years from the socialists and communists that they know no other way.
..or d) are pinko ideologues themselves, working to usher in their workers' paradise...
