Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines, told the news station that he would have a problem with it if the state was trying to ban the magazines or firearms, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.”
He really has no clue what is coming does he? Some people are just ignorant that way. It's too bad he's not smart enough to realize that "they have to know where they are" before they can effectively ban them.
To be fair, the efforts in CA are aimed at taking guns from people who have since been disqualified from owning them...... a concept in which I support. However, there are many flaws with this program and many injustices as a result of it. Good intentioned, but poorly executed.
The confiscations in NY are based on the gun which could be legally purchased one day, then illegal to even posses the next day. Making honest law abiding citizens that did nothing illegal and turning them into criminals with the passage of a stupid law.

For those on this thread so against a gun registry what would happen if one of your guns was stolen ? Would you file a police report ? What if you registered the gun and the police were able to look it up index it properly and add a note to it in the database that the gun has been stolen. Now what if the person who stole it gets arrested and the gun gets taken by the police would you not want the police to know it's your gun so that they could then when done with the person who stole it give it back to you ?

They can trace the gun back to who purchased it at a FFL dealer. Also, if I had a choice between a registry or getting any hypothetically stolen firearms that were stolen back, I'd choose not to get them back. The owner could file a report with the police after their firearm is stolen that could include the serial number and description of the firearm. Even if there was a registry, I seriously doubt they'd be returned anyway. People have hard enough time getting there firearms back when and if they are used for valid self defense purposes.
And they will fail, even democrats in congress were against Obama's bill to expanded background checks.
They can try but we still have the Constitution and the Supreme court on our side.
The Constitution is subject to the whim of the Supreme Court which is about 1 appointee away from declaring there is no right to bear arms.
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them—Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in—I would have done it.” - Senator Dianne Feinstein (D)
But hey, "no one wants to ban guns" so people should just be happy to line up and register them.

if Dianne Feinstein could get 51 votes in the senate to ban all firearms, then all she would do is start a war that would have any politician or law enforcement officer actually enforcing that unconstitutional law to be in jeopardy of losing their life.
I shall never register any of my firearms, no matter what federal law ever reads.

He is a typical sheep who follows what everyone else does!!!!! (Not by choice however,he has been unknowingly brainwashed to be easily controllable!!)

The risks of a registry far outweigh any potential benefits that might be gained by one.
Besides that, a lot of gun owners have an encrypted log of their firearms anyway, so they already know the serial number and can report that to police when they file a report of a stolen gun in case it turns up. I too agree that it could take decades to get your gun back if it ever did turn up at a crime scene. That stuff gets locked away in some evidence warehouse and getting back would be a nightmare full of red tape I imagine.
There is no express constitutional right to privacy.
Yes and their is nothing saying the government can do whatever it wants, and only what is in the constitution. If that was the case everything not listed means they can do whatever they want?
I suppose what you own, what you do behind close does should be fool knowledge of the government and you should register all your sex toys, gold money and silver and any items of value :-)
