Perhaps it is not unconstitutional, but I can certainly send any slob that tries to pass the legislation back where he came from.

The Heller decision is disastrous. We would have been far better off if the court had not taken the case.

Would this be at the time of purchase??? I will simply let anybody know that I used to have a gun but I haven’t seen it in years. We register on a de facto basis anyway when they run a background check IMHO.

"Registration is probably not unconstitutional," says Don Kilmer, an attorney...
Yup. Dick the Butcher was right.

Sorry no it is not "constitutional". Mandatory registration is obviously an infringement.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

It may not be practical. Try it, and libs will discover just how impractical it will be.

We could be registered with each state, so that we may serve in the state militias...which pretty much no longer exist.

“who worry that it’s the final step before firearm confiscation”
Way to put your opponents’ arguments in the worst light possible!
To: Sub-Driver
How much infringement can an amendment be subjected to before it becomes an infringement?
To: Sub-Driver
“Sorry, Mandatory Gun Registration Is Constitutional” COME AND GET ‘EM YOU POS!
To: Sub-Driver
MAY, would, could.
Show us the SC decision that says YES it is constitutional. What is the pirpose of these articles that are wishing sessions.

'Bout time to gear up for another war against our rights.
This administration has thrown the Constitution under the bus repeatedly - ownership of two major automobile manufacturers, altering the purpose of and type of which data it can collect on the national census, socializing our national health care - why should we be surprised if they start down the road to abbreviate our right to keep and bear arms...for our own good?
Remember Obama views our Constitution as an impediment.

They just want to get our guns so they can do things to us that they couldn’t do if we were armed.

There is probably a case to be made that mandatory gun registration may be unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment.
From this Wikipedia article:
In Haynes_v._United_States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968) the Supreme Court ruled that, since convicted felons are prohibited from owning firearms, requiring felons to register any firearms they owned constituted a form of self-incrimination and was therefore unconstitutional.
In the eyes of the libtards (including many in positions of government power that they are unfit to occupy), any gun owner is presumed to be a criminal. Therefore...

Funny how we worry about the tiniest drop of public money splashing on anything relating to religion, but anything short of confiscation isn’t even discussed by reasonable people as possibly violating Constitutional guarantees. Even though the first amendment standard is establishment, whereas the second amendment standard is infringement. Establishment sounds like a higher bar to me.
