(3,118 posts)- and the published list didn't include long guns as registration isn't required for them in that area.
The publishing of the list is the problem. IMO, the concern is more about being vilified by non-gun enthusiast friends and neighbors. Certainly there is concern that it would make them a target for thieves but I feel that's only one aspect.
There is something wrong in following all the rules - doing everything the law requires - and then having your name and what you feel is private information published without your consent.
Unless the rules and regs are changed that the registration list remains private with the exception of law enforcement, then I would anticipate that there will be many who won't register their current guns should registration become law.
