...fingerprints, photograph, Social Security number and a host of other personal information...

That's all the same stuff required of a real estate licensee in New Jersey. A thorough background check keeps most criminals out of the business.

I assume the goal is to keep them (criminals) from legally carrying firearms in this case.

Nope. Backgound checks are made at point of sale.

This is just so the Po PO have a record of evry gun and who has it and a way to decide that YOU should no longer have that particular gun so we (Po PO) are gonna take it. In other words a great list for disarming law abiding citizens.

There are some critical differences here. If you don't have a Real Estate License you'll be really crippled in the home sales business. Do you really think a criminal will be prevented from doing business (crime) if he/she can't get a license? Background checks on gun purchases would already have taken care of that, if it were work...

It is already against the law for criminals to have guns. And this is not about carrying guns anyway. This is just a way to fleece law abiding citizens out of more money. Every politician who signed on to this should be recalled.

BUT IT DOESN'T PREVENT THEM FROM BECOMING CRIMINALS AFTER THEY GET THEIR REALTOR LICENSE! And many of them do, judging by the carnage as this housing bubble bursts.

Boy, you left yourself open on that one.

Although in NJ (ironically) we are not actually required to register the weapons, only ourselves and our privilege to purchase them.

This sounds a great deal like the "national" gun registry which received support from Rudy Giuliani.
