Right, because law-abiding Jews… er… firearm-owners have absolutely nothing to fear about registering themselves on some governmentally-controlled roster. Nothing at all.
Of course, we still have the whole logical disconect of “Oh, sure, criminals will follow this law!” to contend with as well…
Gun registration in an anti-gun state is like putting a compulsive gambler in charge of petty cash.
I might be willing to allow for an optional federal license of some sort (similar to C&R, but less restrictive). The benefit would be that the holder does not have to comply with most state or local firearms laws (mwa ha ha ha).
I know that Say Uncle. That’s part of why I think it’s a rhetorical trap. The proposed law seems to have been made by taking a voter id law and replacing ‘voter’ with ‘gun owner’, whether it made sense or not.

That man is going to give Uranium a run for its money on the density thing.

Short but hits all the standard marks, like using ‘fair and reasonable’ somewhere in the line. Of course, it lacks complete originality.

To quote Admiral Akbar, “IT’S A TRAP!”
I bet tomorrow there’s going to be a post to the effect, ‘If it’s not okay to require photo-ID to buy a gun, why is it okay to require one to vote?’

but we do require photo ID for a gun.

But you don’t have to register.
