But it will help law enforcement

That's what passed for common sense in Canada as well - but after years of building the database no crimes were ever solved using the database.

NRA types always say that we need to do a better job enforcing the law. So let's do it.


Yes - but it's not an existing law to enforce.

How does this database save one life of the 500 lost in say Chicago where the database would do no good since guns are illegal to own already?

A database of this type would only lead you to the last legal owner, not the criminal who committed the crime since legal owners are the least likely to commit crimes in the first place and there are no/few legal owners in Chicago.

You're being duped into just "doing something" - regardless of effect or cost.
