...in replies #91, 92 and 94.
I think I have demonstrated that I am negotiable and reasonable in discussion of and means toward progress on this issue. I would like to address a few frequently suggested measures which that I find untenable and/or counterproductive.
Assault weapons ban:
Opposition to anything from airline hijackers to the Boston Red Sox require first and most importantly identification. The overall material changes and permutations to law trying to eradicate the AR-15 and similar patterned rifles along with semi-auto versions of rifles such as AK-47/74 and others eminently demonstrate that no narrow functional definition of such a weapon is possible. Working to ban in some way the possession or acquisition of what is one of if not the best selling type of rifle in the country today is more divisive than useful. (A double-action revolver has about the same operation as a semi-auto.)
Registration:
Privacy issues and fear of the information becoming public in this day of hacking and data compromise along with the fact that this can lead to criminals developing compromised data into a firearm shopping list for robbery and burglary.
I'll pause here for now.
Talk to soon. 
Have a good week.
