Although I don't exactly believe that that there isn't at least _some_
motive to eventually get rid of ALL weapons I agree that military and
handgun weapons should reuire some forms of registration to be legally
owned....but that's already in place in Canada and the new gun laws
won't do anything about it.....so where is your justification for THIS
NEW register?

Although I'm not in favor of BANNING them for the sake of collectors and
handgun target shooters, I do agree that handgun control to a certain
degree is probably not a bad idea.
