I lost all my guns. A tragic boating accident on Pyramid Lake. Right off Anaho island. The bottom ain't been found there yet. Well armed Lahontan Trout down there. Aint been able to afford to buy any more. Or another boat. Lucky to escape with my life.

Guns are interstate commerce, and they should be federally regulated. I think it's long overdue. At the same time, I would acknowledge the reality that people are going to have all kinds of reactions to it, and I can't entirely blame them. I think former Australian PM John Howard (an Aussie conservative and one of Bush's ole allies) wrote a good piece in today's NYT about how to approach it. One step could be financial incentives. Maybe rather than threatening brute force, a better approach would be voluntary registration for all arms already produced, sold, and owned, with the offer of a tax incentive to comply. While people who own guns are currently deciding what to do with them, the real force of any registration law could be applied to all new guns sold, and that would especially mean eliminating gun show loopholes.
Not all are "interstate commerce" according to some states like MT. Any gun made in MT sold to a MT resident is not subject to any type of registration, at least until the feds decide they really want to fight this fight with the state who as far as I remember is "waiting" for 'em. As for registering them, I foresee a whole bunch that were sold a long time ago to somebody who may or may not be at room temperature now. Ooops.

Back to the subject, only the ones purchased from dealers, in which they already know the serial numbers, would get reported.
Well, those have been sold... some guy in the WalMart parking lot... for cash ... he didn't speak English. The others? Stolen. No, I didn't report it nor did I make an insurance claim. Do I have to?

Why do I need "papers" for something which is my constitutional right to own?
