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.

Doug, at this point the only way the government is going to get away with a
handgun ban is with a Constitutional Amendment. They do not have the
authority to ban handguns. That ship sailed last June.
