These databases do not track criminals who have guns, they track law-abiding citizens who have guns. Criminals steal their guns or get them without informing the government. Why can't you understand that? No legitimate purpose??? How about capturing criminals with guns...?

>> How about capturing criminals with guns...? Criminals (felons) are not allowed to possess guns today AFAIK. But that has never stopped them from getting them. It is a dumb concept; criminals don't register firearms and never will. That's why they're criminals. So, you have a database that is comprised almost 100% of legal, responsible gunowners. Why do you need that? Even though I think Ten is one of the smartest people on this thread, I cannot imagine where he sees any benefit to this.
