I am sorry but you don't understand the history of gun control and in understanding that the reason why the NRA of America opposes ANY form of gun control or gun registration. No matter how "reasonable" it might sound to any supposed sensible person.
Gun control attacks gun ownershio rights in the same way a gourmet devours a salami sausage. Fine slice, by fine slice, so that you never really notice that it has been all gobbled up until it has gone.
That is why the NRA of America opposes any form of gun control or any attempt at gun control. Or gun registration. It has learned from Europe. The history of gun control in the UK is this (somewhat written rudely...but pretty much this).
Until 1920 there was NO gun control save that a dealer could not sell a weapon to a person drunk and that if a person wanted to take a gun outside their "curtilage" (their house of landholdimg) they needed a Gun Licence. This being only a revenue measure, a tax, just like a Dog Licence. Which is why BOTH were available over the counter at any Post Office.
In 1920 the FAC was introduced. But this was only rifled arms and people could still possess arms for self-defence. It was nothing more that a "reasonable and sensible" measure, surely, wasn't it, to ensure that undesirable people didn't have guns? So few in Parliament opposed it.
By 1936 machine guns were banned, shot guns with under twenty inch barrels required an FAC, and yet other than that little was anything more than "reasonable and sensible".
By 1948 self-defence had ceased to be a good reason for possessing an FAC.
By 1967 shot guns under twenty-four inches required an FAC and, for the first time shot guns were on licence. The SGC arrived.
By 1988 self-loading and pump action rifles in centrefire calibre were banned, self-loading and pump action rifles under twenty-four inches were banned. And with that ban? The dealers received no compensation. Private iundividuals only a flat rate 50% or £ 150 with NO COMPENSATION for magazines, dedicated sights, ammunition etc., etc., etc..
Oh and basic over twenty-four inch barrel shot guns with a capacity of over three rounds, or a detachable magazine, went onto FAC. If the police would grant one for them! Few forces did. And the cost of converting them to a restricted magazine? The owner paid that. Not the Government,
By 1998 all "small firearms", so all pistols either centrefire or rimfire EVEN SINGLE SHOT like the old Webley were banned.
So what starts as reasonable becomes unreasonable and ALL of it happens because someone such as yourself says that there is no harm in "reasonable and sensible" measures and in GUN REGISTRATION.
And in 2015? Air guns in Scotland will be licensed and for those deemed to have no "good reason" for their being issued a licence? Well...those will be banned! But it's all "reasonable and sensible".
I am sorry I feel strongly about this and my comments may seem "harsh" to you. But my grandfather had a pistol before WWI and took it to the war. he had no licence. There were none before 1920 but where was the armed crime then? Before 1920? Yet there were no gun controls.
I grew up in a house where my father had, until 1967, no Shot Gun Licence. They didn't exist. Again, please, where was the menace of people going about with long barrelled shot guns causing mayhem and murder?
So, please, consider this. If you give these "reasonable and sensible" measures, and registration oxygen they grow and grow to what we have in Britain in 2015 and what Scotland has to come in 2016.
That is why the ONLY "reasonable and sensible" actors in all this are the NRA of America in seeing what the end will always be. Gun prohibition, gun confiscation and measures that have lost all reason and all sense.
I am fifty-eight years old this year. I predict that, in my lifetime, multishot rifles in both centrefire and rimfire will become prohibited except only for those FEW allowed them for stalking or live quarry shooting WHERE AN ESTATE RIFLE IS NOT OTHERWISE AVAILABLE.
I also predict that in my lifetime the "co terminous" FAC/SGC will become an FAC and that ALL SHOTGUNS WILL BECOME SUBJECT TO FAC CONDITIONS.
My mother was born in 1919. She died in 2014. In just the space of her lifetime (ninety-fours years old) Britain went from no gun control to total gun control. Yet I know that most truly "reasonable and sensible" thinkers would prefer the crime figures of 1919 in a Britain with no gun control for those of Britain of 2014 with total gun control.
