Just a little interjection. The reason "right wingers" don't want the federal government knowing who has guns and how many and what kind, etc... Is because the right to bear arms is there to arm the public in a way so as to throw off a tyrannical government if the need ever arose. If this government knows who has weapons that could be used against it, then guess who becomes the first target? I'm not saying I agree with these views, it's just a safeguard that is in place, just in case. btw, I own several guns. (17) All of them registered.and believe me, I'm on an FBI list somewhere. ;8^)
