The idea of a gun registry is sound enough I suppose but surely this one is a fiasco. I'm not sure that gun violence will actually be reduced as a consequence of registration, nobody seems sure of this, and yet that was it's only stated purpose. It seems to me that we may well have spent a billion dollars so that some politico could stand up and "look, were doing something !!" Time will tell I suppose, but by that time there will likely be another "hot" issue and the press will forget this one.
