Texan Scott. Thank you. You got it, and expressed it better than I have. If all 300 million of us are marked as qualified to own, then those who actually do own are more difficult to single out in the crowd.
PBR Streetgang, yep. My idea is tantamount to a national ID. (Even if there were no card involved, but just an ID number to be accessed when purchasing a gun, an idea that evolved as I read these posts).
And as JRWhit pointed out earlier, "Legislative Creep" would be an attractive path for those who would regulate other activites (e.g. what spirits we could buy). When the Social Security Numbers were first done, they were expressly prohibited from being used as an identification. It only took about 30 years for that rule to be bent.
Having run through this wringer (and boy, am I sore) I will be better able to argue against benign-sounding "gun control" proposals.
Note: Gun control is NOT about gun control, nor even saving lives. It is about CONTROL, pure and simple. Saving lives is just an excuse.
