Hate to break it to you, but ALL CCW permits are "registered." The only fear I have regarding registering ALL weapons is that the honest person will comply and the criminal won't. As bad as this gov is, I am reluctant to allow them any more power or control over me. Having a list of all gun ownership, makes it real easy for them to confiscate your gun if they declare an emergency. I have been a law abiding citizen all my life, but if they started a mandatory registration, my unregistered weapons would remain unregistered. I have no problems with a stop and frisk policy as long as it is not a "liberal" stop and frisk, meaning with total disregard for the constitutional rights of the citizen. A suspicious looking character is one good reason, but just to stop someone on a "liberal" power trip is another. There has to be some governor on this power. I don't believe the NRA owns congress any more than than I believe George Soros or the Koch brothers own congress. They have lots of power, but not total power. If not for the NRA, I bet we would be another Australia in regards to gun laws and confiscation.

Statistics seem to indicate that since more guns are owned in the U.S. crime has been reduced. In cities with the harshest gun control laws, violent crime is the highest.

Since over half the gun related deaths in America are suicides, reducing or limiting gun ownership will not reduce that fifty percent of deaths. Those persons wishing to end their own lives will still achieve it, only by a different method.

Strict penalties and punishment is the only deterrent to lower deaths by criminal violence. If the courts refuse to punish the guilty, then what is stopping them from committing crime?
