5. Everyone should know if you are dangerous...

and if so, you should not be able to possess or use a firearm.

If a gun registry is necessary to prevent illegal gun trafficking, then it's no big deal to lawful gun possession. I use guns and have no problem with it. A gun registry should record sales, criminal use of guns, etc.

Regardless, I have a right to know that unstable people, children, untrained people, and criminals cannot possess guns easily, so producing a license at logical points of time: buying and selling ammo or guns, when entering a firing range or hunting area, and when carrying a gun should be required.

My opinion...if you fear a license process more than guns in the hands of dangerous people, then you must have been living in the Twilight Zone for the last few decades.
