This red herring costs time and money, $50+/weapon, is actually ineffective as markings="finger print" changes with normal use especially if any parts are repaired, swapped, are altered. So annual "finger printing" at $50+/year? Will it be a crime if one possesses a registered arm with an out-of-spec "finger print"? Guilty until proven innocent? I expect so.

We have learned nothing if we don't recognize that these obstructions are simply infringments. Adding costs and layers of officious crap (critical reports and paperwork), under penealty of law, is the fascists' M.O. Registration by any means is their only hope of confiscation.

No one will be safer, but the powerful will become more powerful.

Yeah, would you be forbidden from changing barrels, for instance? Or, would every sale of replacement-part barrel now be required to be "fingerprinted" and "registered" as well? Would they outlaw you from making your own barrel?
