[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However, asking all gun owners to register, and having the government decide on when they can confiscate weapons from owners using the registration information is not the right thing to do.[/quote]
Seems perfectly right to me.  Let's say Joe legally buys a gun in 2000 when he has a clean record.  But then in 2002, Joe gets convicted by a jury on felony drug and assault charges, and he admits in court he's been in mental health treatment for homicidal urges.  Joe serves his time, and now he's living in your neighborhood.  Joe's gun is now illegal because of his convictions and his mental health history.  Don't you think the police ought to know that Joe has an illegal gun?  Don't you think the police ought to be able to require Joe to get rid of his illegal gun?[/quote]

Lets say Joe lives in Hawaii, where there is a gun registry. Cops show up to confiscate his weapon and he says "there was a burglary, gun was stolen."

What now?[/quote]
