  Of the firearms that are *not* in the hands of the people most likely 
to misuse them?  Again...how EXACTLY does this translate to a safer 
society and/or a lower homicide rate?  What EXACTLY does "better 
knowledge and control" mean...the ability to more easily confiscate guns 
from the people who shouldn't have them (the people who we can *already* 
take them from...and who would be the very LAST people to voluntarily 
register their guns, knowing full well that they would be immediately 
seized due to their prior criminal acts)?
