Since you bring it up, we *do* register automobiles. And we *do*
license drivers. My main argument with the NRA is that they oppose
registering handguns and licensing handgun owners, and they favor
the continued sale of cop-killer bullets.  If you want to accurately
represent the NRA, perhaps you can tell us what is so bad about
licening and registration.

I would not trust any politician that tried to outlaw all posession
of firearms. However, I could never support the NRA because of their
positions on licensing and registration of handguns, and their
position on cop-killer bullets. If they change those three positions
I will be the first to join up.
