Actually, I still don't understand the resistance, as it seems to be only $$$ that are the problem. maybe somebody could state the opinion from that side.
To summarize:
- Gun registry good because it tracks the ownership of these weapons
- Gun registry bad because it is over-priced (close to a billion $)
- Gun Registrybad because criminal element will by pass it anyways.

I fit into the law abiding citizenry who enjoy hunting for sport (dodges tomatoes from tree huggers) and think that the government is just picking on us. My family has been hunting for generations. The laws and restrictions placed on firearms and game hunting are so ridiculous, and expensive, it has all but ruined the sport. I have taken all the courses, and paid out all the ridiculous monies required so I can hunt. I know how to operate a firearm. I don't plan on using it to kill innocent people. But because of the idiocy of a few inbred idiots I have to suffer.
The gun registry is one of the biggest wastes of taxpayers money in recent decades. How the government has been able to sweep that whole fiasco under the rug is beyond me. And it hasn't even been effective, in my mind. All it has done is ruined years of family tradition by making it too expensive to hunt.
