You need a license to use one and if you buy one, it gets registered. The registry is not gun control, it's a registry.
You need a license to drive a car and if you own a car, the car needs to be registered. I don't see people up in arms when the have to pay every year to register a vehicle, why do people get so upset when a gun gets registered for ever for free? I have sold and registered hundreds of guns and people talk tough about the registry until they see it actually done. They don't have to do or pay anything and it only takes a few minutes.
The changes I would make is to grand father in guns that are owned by farmers and ranchers and as long as they are a tool to be used on the farm and not taken off the property for hunting or target shooting they are fine. Just like if you had an old truck for farm use.
