So You Do Want Registration

Another instance of blathering on about how gun control would have helped, but then the argument really doesn't support the idea. There are already laws on the books that make gun possession by the Boston Marathon Bombers illegal. What they did was illegal. They decided to become criminals and no whining about the NRA is going to change the fact that more gun laws would not have done anything to have stopped them. Mr. Earl Ofari Hutchisonn needs to listen to the facts of his own story.
Boston bomber suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reportedly horded a small arsenal of guns. They were semi-automatic weapons. They did not have to go through a background check or have a permit. Authorities will now be forced to spend countless hours and personnel trying to track down exactly how, when and where they got their guns. They could have easily have gotten them over the Internet, at a gun show, or just simply bought them from an individual seller on the street or anywhere else.
Authorities will investigate. It's what they do. Registration or not, they would have to chase paper. Hutchinson is calling for an electronic database of gun owners to speed up the process. Not going to happen. Ever. What difference does it make now after the fact? Go read it.
