Doesn’t the idea of gun registration bother you in the least?

*********

No more than registering my car.

Driving a car is a state-licensed privelege, not a Constitutional Right. Are you suggesting that the two are equivalent?

Good point. I wasn't suggesting anything in particular. I'm not a gun owner, so I'm not up on this issue as much as I probably should be. I didn't see anything particularly nefarious in the bill, so just wanted to make sure I understood what all the hub-bub was about. It seems that the issue is not this particular bill per-se, but rather the slippery-slope argument. Thats fine.

by the way, I think voting is a constitutional right and we still have to register to vote. Just sayin'
