I have no problem with the right to bear arms.

I have a problem with people believing that right extends to arms far outside my definition of hunting and personal defense weapons. The founding fathers had no idea about TEC-9s.

There should be a federal database of every gun owner and every gun he owns, accessible to all government agencies that deal with crime, and a proper background check before the purchase of ANY firearms or ammunition. Federalize photo identification, social security information, birth records, driving records, and criminal records into one common database and it becomes VERY easy to know who you shouldn’t be selling weapons to.

::cue ridiculous “if we do that, they’ll take our guns” argument::
