I think the whole idea of the gun registry is an exercise in futility. Until you can convince me that the criminal element is complying, I will not support it.
How on earth is a registry going to cut down on gun crime when the people committing the crimes are - you now - criminals! I don't think any of them will be waiting in line to get their stolen or otherwise untraceable weapons registered, no matter what the penalty for non-compliance.
From where I am sitting it looks like nothing more than an attempted money grab which backfired and has ended up costing billions of dollars that could have been much better spent.
