In Australia, the U.K., and California it started with registration, then after they had the names of everyone who owned guns it changed to a ban. That's how it always works, and that's why pro-gun people don't trust registration schemes.

I guess I have a little different opinion than most since I had to use a firearm to defend myself once.
