We've seen what happened in Canada and Austrailia not to long ago. Starts with numbers. then registration. then........Confiscation, then distruction. No thanks.

Not a clue but perhaps you would receive a more targeted response with a more descriptive thread title. Threads that start with ‘once upon a time’ or ‘I wonder if…’ seldom receive a lot of responses.

In NC, you must secure a permit from yor local sheriff's dept to purchase a handgun. (CC permit holders are exempted) The Raleigh newspaper for a long time published the names of all persons who got "pistol permits", arguing that it was public information, just like marriage licenses, building permits, etc.

In response to objections from a number of sources, they finally discontinued that policy.
