The truly stupid thing about the whole registration argument is the idea that
registration will save anyone or anything.  Registration is not about saving
lives or fighting crime. It's about money and control.

I don't like guns at all but I can think of no valid reason to make law-abiding
citizens register their guns.  It's their right to own them.  I'd support a law
requiring that guns be secured when not under the control or supervision of the
responsible owner.  That is my idea of gun control.  Someone else said "gun
control" consists of using two hands... :^)

Wasting time, money and effort on registration instead of "control" probably
costs more lives because no one is doing anything to protect anyone -- just more
of the usual government nonsense.
