#1. Agree.
#2. Disagree. None of the gubment’s business. Plus, the BATF Form 4473 establishes, under threat of perjury and criminal penalty, that one is legally fit at time of purchase.
#3. Agree, with the caveat that all records are destroyed within 90 days and there is no federal registry.
#4. Agree.
#5. Gotta ask why on this. Assault weapons are responsible for a statistically small percentage of gun deaths annually. Why target this specific group/type of weapon?[/quote]
#2. This is so the firearms are traceable. Someone can be a front, clears the background checks, then hands the gun to someone else. Also, without a registration, how can you mandate the liability insurance.
#5. Firepower. At some point you have to limit guns with excessive firepower. Guns are for self defense right? Why do we need assault weapons for self defense?
