[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] It's not a good idea to sacrifice the rights of law abiding citizens just to make it easier for the government to do something.[/quote]
Exactly what right of yours is being sacrificed by requiring gun registration?

None whatsoever.  Quit your whining.[/quote]

Per the ninth amendment of the US constitution:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

And the tenth amendment:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Taken together, it's clear that everything not delegated to the Federal government, nor prohibited by the constitution, is a right that the state/people have. It's therefore my right to not have to register my ownership of a gun because the constitution and the US code does not give the Federal government the ability to perform gun registration. [/quote]

Federal registration could be easily arranged under the Commerce Clause or several other avenues.  State-by-state registration is perfectly permissible, and already exists in a few states.

But bottom-line, you've still pointed to no "rights" of yours that would be infringed by requiring registration.  [/quote]
