Most folks do not have a problem with a background check, but that is very costly and does next to no good, other than to spotlight possible convicted felon purchasers. As far as a national gun registration, no way. No one is going to register their guns with the fear of the government possibly attempting to confiscate them whenever they please. Besides, most of your gun related crimes are perpetrated using unregistered, black market or stolen guns. You don't have to fear honest gun owners.....unless you are the bad guy.

it was very close to 90 percent, maybe high 80s.
it seems to me that these latest mass killings were by mental retards who were able to buy a weapon legally.
Call it what you want, but if it even stops one idiot from getting a gun and shooting up a theatre then it is well worth it.
This whole crackpot theory of people worried that the government is coming to take your guns away was just a weapon industry tactic to get scared people to buy more guns while they still can.
