When somebody says "Guns don't kill people.People kill people".....

18. I can certainly, and politely, agree to disagree with you on the registration issue. The way *I* see

it is, like you said, the Government could access the NRA Database for members names, and guns purchased through a gun shop are already registered to you due to the paperwork in your name, along with the background check. In my State, A CCP holder must also register with the Sheriff's Department *which* weapon they are going to be carrying concealed.

Ok, I got a little off on a tangent, but registration lets the Government know exactly WHO has WHAT, and in the event that they ever DO try to confiscate, the registered ones will be the first people they come after. They can't take what they don't know you have, can they?? Of course, I am also the one who always says that "the logistics of going house to house searching for guns is just too unrealistic, even if they got the military involved. I live in a small town, on 15 acres of land, and there are a LOT of farms and homes with acreage here. by the time the first or 2nd house was searched, the news would be all over the County. People would be burying their guns somewhere on their property. Is the Government *really* going to spend the time combing ever inch of ever piece of land with metal detectors looking for guns??"

MY guns can stay quietly locked away in my safe until I am dead and gone, then my kids can keep them, sell them or turn them into flower vases. I wouldn't be here to know anyways.

Thanks for the polite, civil conversation. I welcome them from different viewpoints all the time.

Peace to you and yours,
