How much of that you think you are gonna get??

There is just not any widespread support for even mild gun control and for sure national registration will never happen in our lifetimes.

I personally think a gun should be like a car, with a title and a background check that happens every time it is transferred, but that ain't going to happen.

People can yell and stomp their feet all they want but I think all it will guarantee is President Trump and a GOP congress.

The politics of this issue do not favor us at this time.
