Thank you for your post Pasquino.     You would think it would be obvious to gun owners, that such a database is no threat to them at all.  They are law abiding citizens who own guns in a safe manner and are highly unlikely to be in a chain of gun sales that leads to crime.  

You would think the responsible gun owner would be eager to catch and remove the criminal gun owners from their own ranks.   It's the 'unknown' that allows those who fear guns to lump together all gun owners as mildly psychopathic, which they aren't

Stereotyping is killing the rational process of gun regulation.     Not all gun owners are ego driven, power hungry, can't wait to shoot me a bad guy, thugs.   Not all those who want improved regulation are soft headed, panda loving, flower children who want to rip your gun out  of your hand.

This room clearly falls into this kind of stereotyping and false accusations, from both sides.
