    The car registration system costs what, $250 a year, per car, do you want to pay that for each firearm you own every year to pay to administer it? It'd be relatively more expensive due to economy of scale too. Would make owning a norinco uneconomical fast
    Largely I agree with you about the shop, mostly I'm pointing out that the average gun owner is less at fault here than the shop that sold the guy $50k plus worth of guns/ammo/parts without apparently wondering what he was up to.

    FWIW, as far as I can see, the current rules worked fine. They guy got arrested. Like a lot of others in this thread, I don't see the need for calling for making changes based on a single event.
