Anyway there's really not much I can add from here. I don't think registration is good because I don't like the feds keeping track of people's purchases and there are other ways to solve crimes. You don't care if they track what you buy and don't think the methods we have now are sufficient enough. There's really no middle ground here and I doubt were gonna change each others mind.

Yeah, I think you summed up the argument pretty well: "I don't like it" vs "This would help solve crimes".

I was wondering when you all would come to this very obvious conclusion that jason whole argument was that one paragraph.  The fear of the government being able to trace him having a dangerous weapon is way more important than anything else.  You could have shone evidence, statistics, you name it and he would never have changed his opinion.  Fear is a powerful emotion.  Maybe if the FED had this information, they could run profile analysis against him and the guns he has.  Next thing you know some federal officer will be asking his neighbor and high school teachers about his personality.  Just thinking about all the things the FED can do if they have a national registry of sold firearms.
