That's all the govt. needs.
Yeah your right, the guns are registered, but guess what else, when a law gets passed to take away firearms, there are going to be alot of calls to the local police departments of theft! I know mine will get stolen.
I understand this is CA. but in TN when a handgun check is passed the information by law is destroyed after one year. It took 3 minutes for a check to the TBI over the phone the other day. This is just the check to purchase BTW.
