I guess if you think you dont have a right to privacy and as an American citizen who owns firearms that you should be placed on a list and tracked, then its not an infrigement on your rights.

Never mind that attempting such a system would be a multi-billion dollar boondoggle that would fail miserably.

And Maryland already has such a system. Seems the shooter should have been identified and caught by now.

Let me play devil's advocate here for a minute:

You wrote: I guess if you think you dont have a right to privacy and as an American citizen who owns firearms that you should be placed on a list and tracked, then its not an infrigement on your rights.
But we are all on lots of lists. drivers licences,crdit cards, social security, etc. Are these all infrigments of rights?

Now, I can see the cost being the major problem, especially if it doesn't work. This makes sense to me. My point though, is that I keep hearing this is a violation of our rights and I am having a hard time seeing how it is any more a violation than the things I mentioned above.
