I have heard men, intelligent men, hunters and shooters, make the same comments, men who I thought would think better. I agree with 44AMP on this one, it is just a hop, skip and a jump to your autoloading bird gun, tube fed magazine pump, or your scoped big game rifle. And any handgun.

We must all stick together......."if it burns powder, I'm for it"......Elmer Keith.

On the other side, I have read that there are an estimated 25 million AR pattern rifles in circulation in the US, and some 20 million Glock pistols. And IL, who recently enacted a registration system, is not getting much participation in the program. While citizens are surprisingly compliant with much gov't flexing, it would take a heck of a program to reel in close to 50 million guns of just two types.
