As I mentioned on another thread about this story, I am curious to know what law enforcement thinks of something like this? How much in terms of tax dollars and man hours is this going to cost? And are those scarce tax dollars and man hours likely more better spent fighting the real criminals instead of ones created by a piece of legislation?
This is the experience New Zealand had and the main reason why in 1983 they abolished their registry for standard hunting rifles and shotguns because law enforcement there determined that such a registry and maintenance of it was valueless as a crime fighting tool. Backlogs and errors on a large scale were also encountered by law enforcement in the Australian states of Victoria and South Australia at about the same time concerning their firearms registries.
It only works if all owners participate. Guns? Don’t know what you mean?
