That's only temporary.

What, the Supreme Court ruling? You really think that you're going to get
the Second Amendment repealed?

So far as I've heard Chicago hasn't done away with their equally
ineffective handgun ban either, ineffective in the sense that
criminals happily ignore it.

Interesting observation, just as Chicago is an interesting place.

Chicago and other localities are asserting that the Supreme Court ruling
only restricts the Federal government, since it applied to DC, which was a
Federal preserve. There is another case in progress now that will, if the
Supreme Court decides to hear it, settle that matter.

If you can point out how fear of handgun bans amounts to "NRA
propaganda" despite laws such as these existing for decades, that
might be interesting.

Huh!

What will registration accomplish? Do you think any criminal will
choose to register a firearm?

Not hardly; however, when the registered firearm is found in the hands
of a felon, the possibility of legal recourse exists.

And when a nonregistered firearm is found in the hands of a felon then legal
recourse exists too. If you have a point to make you have obfuscated it
well.

Really, is that how it worked in Britain, Australia and Canada,
registration didn't precede bans and confiscations?

Personally could care less, I don't live in those places.

Perhaps if you think that gun bans are a good idea, you should.
