In principle such a thing should never exist, but then again the guns of good owners seem to at times find their way illegally to others who should never get guns.

How do we fix both issues to the satisfaction of all.

We had moms out there taking their mental kids to shooting ranges then having those kids take the guns, kill their moms and then kill a group of other kids.
We also don’t want the government busting our doors down for legally owned weapons.

We have a tough problem to deal with IMO.

Guns are not the problem. Look at what happened in China: 28 people killed, 113 people wounded in a knife attack. The solution is to focus on criminals and the insane.

"We have a tough problem to deal with IMO."

Not if you start with the presumption that the Founders were right, and we have a G-d given right to self defense against government with our firearms.

Then, problems are not "tough". The problems are perhaps intractable. But only if you assume you are going to overturn the clear constitutional meaning do things become "tough."

The first thing I would say is, leave my guns alone. The second is, buy more guns. The third: Leave California.

“... guns find their way illegally to others who should never get guns ...”

How would a National Gun Registry prevent that?

You assume that the government has the authority to do even a portion of what it does. How is knowing which law abiding citizen has guns and what guns they have going to prevent crime? Do you think that the criminals and the insane are going to register theirs?

Know this for a fact: Gun registration ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS leads to confiscation. There is no other reason to have a registration.

Just how many problems are you trying to solve that our founding fathers had already considered when they said it was the right of citizens to keep and bear arms?
