(6,185 posts)They already admit that criminals won't register any guns, only the law abiding will.
But then the conversation, such as it is, drizzles away into mumbling.
If the only registered guns belong to the law abiding, what use is their registration? After all, nobody wants to confiscate your guns .... yet, right? The cops can already trace serial numbers through the manufacturer, wholesalers and 4473 forms to the original buyer and in more states like Illinois, through every purchase, gun show or car trunk
My personal opinion; gun control fans all believe in "Trickle Down Gun Control". E.G. Keep taking and restricting more types of guns from the law abiding and sooner or later (much, much later), maybe, probably, sorta, criminals won't have any guns...they hope.
The people that can't defend themselves and are injured or killed are just collateral damage for their warm fuzzy feelings of moral superiority.
Oh, and they can charge a fee for registration of course. Chicago was charging $100 per gun registered. No impediment to a civil right there
