I always tend to flip-flop on this issue. I am pretty defensive when new firearm laws are proposed. I do think that the gun registry was a good thought, but is inaffective because it was implemented after people already had guns. I don't feel the need to register a 50 year old shotgun given to me by my dad that is going to sit in a gun case for 50 more years. I don't feel the need to let the authorities know that I have this shotgun, because it is my right as an American citizen to own it. I am a sportsman and hunter, and I know that my firearms will only be used in the field.
Not trying to argue or start anything... just a discussion.
