Why is the goverment taking so long to kill the gun registry it does not work...?

Because it's politically incorrect to do so.  It's much easier to enact bad legislation than it is to remove it (with the exception of the silly "assault weapons" ban", which was rightfully killed).\n\nPoliticians pass useless gun laws because they make people "feel good", even though they have no measurable effect on crime.  In some cases, crime actually increased when guns were outlawed..  Look at Great Britian - guns were banned, and the crime rate jumped.  Same thing happened in Australia.  Remember the Halloween party shooting in San Francisco a few days ago?  They have some of the worst gun restrictions in the country, and it didn't help a bit.\n\nGun control does not work.  I read that 41 local, state, and federal gun laws were violated during the Columbine rampage.  Would people feel any bettter if 42 laws were violated instead?\n\nThe solution:  Raise your children properly, discipline them when they step out of line, and teach them to respect the lives of others.  These school shootings began about the same time that it became politically incorrect to discipline your kids.

wild guess here but if the gun fires 12 rounds it should take 11 min's to shoot. the first shot should be a 0seconds the 2nd @1min and so one.

It has to do with the Second Amendment giving ONLY the states and NOT the Federal Government the right to regulate a militia and to the extension of gun ownership.  \n\nAmendment II \n\nA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The REAL gun nuts are worried that the Republicans will take their guns away too!  Quit teasing the gun nuts!  It's mean.  How is that supposed to help them get over their paranoia?

I just answered a question about silencers and automatic weapons stating the same thing you just wrote here! There seems to be a lot of uninformed children on this section who seem to think just because they play Xbox they're suddenly a firearms expert.I don;t claim to be an expert by any means, but I would think after over 30 years of shooting experience i would know a little something about firearms and firearms laws. I'll be the 1st to say "In my opinion" instead of stating my opinion as a fact.If these kids on here would do a little research before spouting off their uninformed ignorant opnions about topics they know nothing about, we'd all be much better off.

Stupid question, anyone with any brains knows that in America nothing is free. Who did you kill with it?\nThe other thing, to the person above me... A gun has never killed a person, or thing. People kill people, stupid people kill people, angry people kill people. They use guns, cars, ball bats, knives..... Are you going to outlaw all those things? \nGet real people, even if you out lawed guns, knives... and BALL BATS, for pete's sake...  you can't  outlaw stupidity, or anger... and people who are, will just pick up a stick or a hammer... or what ever else is handy. Why don't they just  force self control on everyone? Because you would still have lawbreakers. And illegal use of any weapon is what a law breaker will do. Law abiding citizens  (the ones who would give up their guns...) aren't going to hurt anyone except a thief or rapist, anyway. I figure the bad guy should have stayed out of the law abiding citizens house, if he didn't want to get hurt.  \n(Yeah, I know there are accidents... lots more car accidents, and we all know, Americans aren't going to outlaw cars...)

Do not call registry for your state. You have to call them every 5 years to keep it up to date. There are certain ones that can get through.

Guns don't kill people.\nPeople kill people. With guns. Sometimes.

Gun control is very strict.  I lived there for 17 years and never saw a gun for sale except in the hunting section of sporting goods stores.  Drive-by and random shootings are virtually unknown there.

Canada is not as hysteria filled as the U.S. They realize there is no reason to make the registries public. The U.S. originally was to have them available only to law enforcement as well. That has all changed and now we have vigilantes out killing people. I wonder if it will take a rehabilitated former sex offenders child or spouse being murdered to stop the insanity?

It's open to a great deal of interpretation. It depends on the body regulating the militia. Does it make sense to allow the one being governed by the militia to govern the militia? Not in my opinion. I believe it is another attempt to institute handgun control.
