You guys are crazy. I am all for gun rights but its insane to think no registration is a good thing. In Pa I paid $50 to register my handgun with the state police and I feel that is ok. I am a law abiding citizen and I do not want my gun to get in the wrong hands, so i will register it.
If I lived in a state where they would not register guns, I would not feel too safe about that. To each his own I guess. The problem is there are too many idiots and not enough responsible gun owners out there for me to feel safe with them not being tracked. Unfortunately that is the world now, a bunch of paranoid nut bags. Just try to buy ammo anywhere... It's all wiped off shelves

Registering it doesn't keep it from being stolen, people not allowed a gun will just pick up a stolen one, you can't trace the gun used in a crime unless they leave the gun, and just because you register it doesn't mean you know how to use it and are not a complete idiot

meh, I can make some devastating guns..
just give me a hydraulic cylinder, some metal tube, a welder, acetylene torch, and a case of beer and a bunch of rocks/gravel!
my buddy already made the above described device...
holy **** that thing is powerful!
basically a potato gun on steroids...
we have managed to launch beer cans 2+ miles at supersonic velocities...its basically an anti-vehicle weapon.
load a beercan with rocks, beercan happens to fit perfectly down the barrel... set the cutting torch flame up for cutting to give the perfect mix of gas and oxygen, put the flame out with the **** and turn it back on and fill the chamber with the mixture for a few seconds, relight the flame and put it down to the fill hole...BOOM! beercan is away!
and unlike a potato gun...it will fire each and every time as we are putting pure oxygen in with the gas..not just gas. problem with spud guns is after the first shot...there's no air in the chamber left for a second shot.
for making one as powerful as this, you really have to use a hydraulic cylinder off a dozer or excavator as the combustion chamber as it is going to be one of the few things strong enough to take those kinds of pressures from an oxygen accelerated fuel source.
definitely a mounted weapon though..too heavy to carry. we have it mounted to a jetski cart lol. makes a good cannon stand.

The problem I have with having to register your gun is that the 2nd Amendment was put in place so that citizens could form a militia to protect themselves from who? Yep - precisely the ones who would now know who has the guns.
Makes it REAL easy for those entities to know where to go first to relieve you of your 2nd Amendment rights.
I also get the argument that arises when some obviously insane person uses a gun to kill defenseless men, women and children. But I was a young man in the deep south where more people carried a handgun than not and back in the day you NEVER heard of this happening. I believe this is more a "society" problem than a "gun" problem...

Well I got a picture of all my guns.....plus one of my brothers since it was the first gun to come out of the safe. His colt is pretty sweet.
I really need to pick up a 30.06 or 308

Not trying to be an *** but other than making it easier to find out who has a gun and easier to report as stolen.

So I guess that no one here realizes that they can track a firearm by any shell casing left behind? Didn't know that each firearm is test fired at manufacturing and casing imprint is on file? Well, it is true. As a former FFL, I haev been asked for trace info by ATF on more than one occasion.
And 2nd Amendment was not written to allow citizens to fight our govenment. Gotta read the writing of founders - and see that it was a compromise to get a few southern states to sign on.
