Hi Lance.

>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.

I'm not sure that a government would need the names of gun owners to implement a ban. The two are unrelated, IMO. Theoretically, enforcement of a ban is easier with a list of names to start with, but if the police in your city are anything like ours, they're way too busy taking care of their current responsibilities to take on an extremely manpower-intensive one like that.

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

Interesting (and scary!) story (I read your reply to Houston). Of course, for every anecdotal story about how a gun saved someone's life, there are a lot more about how the presence of a gun ended someone's.
