Hold on, Hold on yall.. I believe yall are mixing up two entirely different points here. Registered guns are not gun registration. It is the point of forensics in identify a weapon used in a crime in the use of a guns manufacturers registration numbers. This for ballistics in identifying a gun used in a crime. This very seldom to be overcoming the use of barrel patterns to the point of an identification number to the correlation of the rifling pattern of the barrel. The point of these laws already on the books for a long time.

On this point, if a gun is registered, it IS gun registration. How can you possibly separate the two? If a gun is registered to the maker, and not the user, that might be possible, but what good would that do the Police. The maker of the gun is already printed on the gun. So if it is registered to the Seller, that only tells them who sold it. If the seller writes down the serial number, that registers the gun, to the buyer. From that point on, this buyer is the registered owner.

Hi again. I re-read your post and I do apologize for playing with your name...twice yet. Suspected the name was native American but told myself I was imagining it. Should have read your entire post instead of rushing to reply from the opening lines. You might be interested in information I have about the situation of native Americans here in the Midwest in the first half of the 1800s and extending into the 1870s--info related to Henry Gratiot, whose pioneer rock house we lived in for 35 years...quite a history I'm eager to pass on. My email is toadhat@att.net and if you send me your email or address I'll email or mail chapters to you on the subject...too long to put in the forum & not exactly a political subject (though Henry's son-in-law was U.S.Grant's political sponsor & his grandson mayor of Chicago). I have some related art copies I could send photocopies of also. Henry died in 1835 but his son-in-law told the Wisconsin Historical Society in the 1870s that wandering native American still came to their house in Galena, IL and camped on their lawn and in their library knowing Gratiot would welcome them, and the daughter of the niece of the family that in the 1870s bought the Gratiot house south of Shullsburg, WI told me how her mother used to tell about how terrified she was as a child when native Americans would come to the house asking for "Gratiot." The Winnebagos requested Henry Gratiot's presence at the treaty negotiations in 1829. The paintings from those negotiations came from a Swiss immigrant brought to the negotiations by Gratiot. His father was a French fur trader in the 1750s, uncles the Chouteaus who founded St. Louis & fur traded to the west & north, cousins partners with Astor in fur trade, etc., etc.

Man, do you have a grudge against this Democratic infested congress. I agree with you that things should be better controlled, and better organized. The problem is that this congress, is floundering around trying to be a Mother to everybody, and instead has become a Mutha' we don't want or need. The government should not think it knows best for us, let us figure it out ourselves, if we want them to do anything we can ask. They think we are so stupid that we don't even know how to ask. I am asking now, Stay out of my personal business. And kill this career ending, stinking income tax system, and also the consumer tax system. A pox on it all. Surely we can find a better way.
