Reply #71: Calm down and consider most gun-owners don't want ANY registration...

[SteveM]

Your predictable shrieking misses the important point: The reason most people do not want gun registration is that they don't want the government to have a list of people owning guns; it kinda defeats the purposes of owning firearms in the even despotic government actions (like the one during Katrina) take place. So, you really expect folks to come forward and say: "Hi! I'm a resident of New Orleans
If I (or anyone) had my gun seized in a similar fashion, I would go to the government entity which did such and ask for the firearm back, in as good a condition as when it was stolen. If it didn't come back in the manner described, I would hire an attorney to sue for the weapon, and for damages (including punitive), and ask the record be sealed.

Now that you know this, you can keep waiting to your heart's content!
