Agree to the above, Doug. I've said registration will change nothing. Everyone here knows it and why. I've written to the senator described by Jim as a RINO, preferable to writing to the confirmed.

Thanks, Dave. An American must have a background check to buy or sell. A dealer calls NICS to confirm the buyer does not have a criminal record or conditions preventing him from possessing a firearm.

What about a person-to-person transaction within and outside a state? Who calls NICS: the buyer or seller? Do all sales and repair transactions go through FFLs? Are FFL's the go-between for gunners and the federal government?

Which raises record-keeping---or not. Canadians had reasonable expectations of registry records being destroyed because the Conservative Party of Canada which rid us of the registry is the governing party.

There is no reporting in Canada. Money is exchanged from Atlantic to Pacific to Arctic coasts; the deal is done. With government's arbitrary measures everywhere, and small-business FFLs operating on their permit, why the confidence no one is keeping records?

It doesn't ring right from all that I'm reading on this board. I'm sensitive because I've been struggling lately with governments favouring a grassroots forestry program, everyone's smiling, but there's no victory for landowners if they surrender control of their destinies.

Have your confidence in the current system but from my decades of struggling with the chicanery and dishonesty of liberal, conservative and socialist governments, sleep with an eye wide open, please.
