Take out any one of those three legs, and I won't consider a proposal. Also, should a proposal like this be made, it would be illustrative to watch the votes in Congress, as it would immediately show which gun control proponents really want a registry, as opposed to a means to ensure that guns are only sold to the law-abiding.

The pen (written word) is mightier than the sword (arms).
So I propose we should make you obtain a license with a background check prior to allowing you to write letters to the editor, attend peaceful protests in city parks, call in on talk radio shows, or post on internet forums.
