Real estate too. But then, that really is my point. We register so many things. I have a hard time with the arguments against registering something designed to specifically to inflict damage when we register other things that are so benign.

>I think too many fear the government controlling everything you own. They will probably charge annual property tax once they have a good registry. I know that here in North Carolina we have to register all pets and pay taxes on cats and dogs! That is probably what makes people stubburn about it as much as anything else.

>>>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.

>>And I understand that. In your case, as far as I understand it, there is no law that requires you to register the gun, so there is no foul. But, if there were such a law, would you still ignore it? I still don't really understand the big deal about registering a gun. It's just a question of filling out a form.
