(730 posts)You sound as terrified as the rabid gun owners cowering (or anticipating) the imminent home invasion that I have to talk to every day.
Let me address the two silliest on your list.
4. Casing are reloaded. Many times by someone who did not buy the original box. Or by certified remanufacturers. Tracing ammo back to the original buyer will be impossible.
6. And how is this going to be enforced? At the range? $20 for 22lr or .308? box of 10, 20, 50, or 250? Buy a box, shoot half on the range... now what? And the hunter? $20 a box for hunting?
I have always liked registration. But will not be easy. CT has registration and half the gun owners have refused. I prefer gun SAFES. Guns locked up in the home are less likely to be stolen or used against the home owner.
I have never had an issue with buybacks, either. Cory Booker has a nice little use for them with his jewelry line.
