Under the current system, if a Glock 19, serial #ABC123 shows up at a crime scene, the ATF can issue a trace request. They'll find that Glock shipped it to Tactical Ninja Gun Supply on January 4th, 2007. They'll call TNGS, who will inform them that they shipped the gun to Joe Bob's Tackle and Gun Shop on January 29th, 2007. The ATF then contacts Joe Bob and asks him to pull the 4473 for that specific gun. Joe Bob goes through his records and finds that he sold it to Bob Periwinkle on February 3rd. That's the current system. Registration is different. Under a registration scheme, all of Bob Periwinkle's guns would be in a central database, under which an agency could simply pull up his name and find everything he owns. The current system makes any sort of confiscation scheme very unworkable. A central registry would make it child's play.

^^^^ Tom, unless it's purchased in NJ. We have to get a permit from the local PD. A 4-part carbon copy form. The top copy goes to the NJ State Police; the yellow goes to local PD; I get the pink and the seller keeps the yellow. I have to believe that both the state & local PD use that for some sort of registry but I'm not 100% certain.

I have written to O'reilly numerous times taking him to task for his stand on registration. There is only one reason for registration...confiscation!
Say you go buy an AR today, register it and, tomorrow, you go crazy and shoot up a mall. What exactly did registering it do to prevent that crime? Both New York and California have talked of confiscation. When all the guns are registered, guess what's going to happen the next time there is a shooting that outrages everyone.
