Registration of all handguns.

10. Not only a great start,

but the best way to lower gun deaths and gun crimes. I have always supported handgun registration because it makes sense on a national level. The biggest complaint from gun rights folks is that it runs against court decisions on the issue. Yet they can't say anything about the national registration laws on full auto weapons as that seems legal.

Something like 85% of all gun crime involves handguns. I'm not very worried about a criminal pulling a long gun on me to rob me, highjack my car or kick in my door and threaten me. The case for defending against an unjust government doesn't fly with handguns as they would be mostly useless in a full combat situation. I must state that the only tyrannical government, I think, would come from crazy militia types trying to overthrow an elected government. I'm still on the fence on long guns. I don't know if we should be registering true hunting arms like grand pa's shotgun, but military style weapons like those designed or fashioned like modern, post Korean war arms, shouldn't be registered. I think future events will dictate that.

I do think national handgun registration is the most effective goal to shoot for(excuse the pun).

Also, I love this new forum.
