    How so, it will NOT prevent them from being stolen or used in crimes.
    I did not say that, you did. I happen to know better, for a fact

  2. It seems you’re thinking of this issue in a fundamentalist religious way. Just like registration an auto does not initially stop auto thieves it does help catch them when the stolen auto turns up just as it would help catch gun thieves and thus it would in fact stop future theft’s from the now locked up thieves.

  3. No it's euphemism like "green"land is all ice instead of picturesque vegetation.

    It's related to the "SHIT" species that our enema boy rcg is an expert spelunker on.

    It seems you're making silly assumptions.
    False, how is registration going to catch someone who stole a gun committed a murder with it then dumped it in the nearest river or sells it to a third party?

    The liberals and anti-gun pussies don't want your truck. They DO want your guns. ALL of them.

    Ok, so this is why the reps opposed the will of their own constituents (and are now, thankfully, paying the price)...

    Pat Toomey: Background Checks Died Because GOP Didn't Want To Help Obama

    "Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) revealed that some members of his party opposed expanding background checks for gun sales recently because they didn't want to "be seen helping the president."

    "Two weeks ago, only three Republican senators voted for the bipartisan background checks amendment sponsored by Toomey and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), despite overwhelming popular support for such a measure.

    "In the end it didn’t pass because we're so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it,” Toomey admitted on Tuesday in an interview with Digital First Media editors in the offices of the Times Herald newspaper in Norristown, Pa.

    "The Times Herald noted that in "subsequent comments," Toomey "tried to walk that remark part-way back by noting he meant to say Republicans across the nation in general, not just those in the Senate."

    "Last week, Toomey placed more of the blame on the president himself, telling the Morning Call, "I would suggest the administration brought this on themselves. I think the president ran his re-election campaign in a divisive way. He divided Americans. He was using resentment of some Americans toward others to generate support for himself."

    "Manchin has argued, however, that the National Rifle Association's decision to score the vote was the main reason the compromise amendment on background checks failed. Without it, he believed, 70 senators -- well above the 60-vote threshold needed for passage -- would have supported it.

    "Opponents also pushed a significant amount of misinformation before the vote, including the myth that the legislation would lead to a federal gun registry. In fact, the bill would have made the creation of such a registry a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to 15 years.

    "Toomey was pessimistic on Tuesday about the prospects of gun legislation moving forward, saying it's "not likely to happen any time soon."

    "The bill is available right now and Sen. (Majority leader Harry) Reid could bring it up for a vote at any time, but we need five people to change their minds," he said.

    "Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and other lawmakers who voted against the background checks legislation have seen drops in their poll numbers since opposing the legislation.

    "Toomey, on the other hand, has seen his poll numbers rise."
