Quote from: challengerX on November 21, 2014, 02:30:20 PMI don't get it.Publishing the names of gun owners is highly unethical and a violation of their privacy. It also makes their homes much more likely to be robbed. Criminals think "oh, guns here, better steal them". Opens them up to harassment from groups like MDA, too.

THIS IS WHY REGISTRATION IS BAD
