[quote=svelte][quote=CA renter] Gun registration has NEVER prevented a single crime; [/quote]
You have absolutely no basis for that statement!
There is no way you can possibly know what would have occurred if a criminal who was tracked down via a gun serial number had not been convicted and sent to prison.[/quote]
Okay, you’re right. A person might be tracked *after the fact* and sent to prison. Therefore, the future potential victims of that person might be safe for as long as he’s in jail. But what about when he gets out? And how many murderers are tracked down because the police found them via their legally purchased and registered firearms? (Honest question there, as I don’t have the statistics.) If you register everyone’s gun, which is probably not possible, the market in stolen guns would go through the roof.
