>Seems to me there is nothing in conflict with the 2nd ammendment to make gun owners and users responsible for their actions. I think pro-gun folks have often been way too paranoid about registration - perhaps the new ruling by the Supremes will assuage that for all but the hardcore.

"Just because you're paranoid does not mean they're not after you" - ???

Recent history has shown how registration was but a step on the way to a ban (Britain, Australia). Without a definitive case from the Supreme Court upholding the individual right in the US, I think gun owners needed to be concerned. DC, SF, Chicago et al had already enacted bans. I feel much better about future legislation knowing that the end game is no longer available to the anti-gun (except for their own security guards) lobby. As a bonus, I think this will severely hamper their cause and fund-raising abilities.
