PB, The object of this article is to begin the drive for obtaining more information on gun owners in order to "be able to do 'better' research". "More information" equals owner registration. Note, I did NOT write "gun registration", because that is NOT the objective. Peace and love, George.

Yes, George, that did occur to me too; but, rather than individual data, can't they use aggregate data without identifying anyone by name, in order to make correlations between crime stats and gun ownership stats?
