Where is that coming from?

Maybe NRA propaganda?

Hand gun registration, background checks, yes.

Banning sale of hand guns, no.

The idea that if firearms are registered, the bad guys will know where
to find and confiscate them is shear lunacy and more NRA hype.

There are far easier ways, which for obvious reasons, I'll not post on
UseNet.

Easier ways such as for what?

I do know from several acquaintances that a common particular caliber of
ammo seems to be very difficult to purchase - the shelves of suppliers
being empty and no dates of when supplies might be available. No, not
assault rifle ammo.

Some are wondering if disarming the public will be done by restricting
ammunition purchases.
