Description
Among a small, but vocal minority of shooters the universal registration of firearms is both the most ridiculed and the most feared of all measures to control guns. It is a fundamental belief of some gun owners that any register of firearms is merely the first step to eventual confiscation by a corrupt future government set on disarming the people.
This report advances more realistic arguments, many of which support the universal registration of firearms.
