Point taken, nicely put. At first I thought you (and MarchHare) were just mincing my words, but I realize that the point wasn't really clear.
Let me rephrase my position......I have not seen any meaningful, measurable metric that supports the setup and/or continued operation of the federal long-gun registry. It MAY be out there, but I have yet to see it (and yes, my eyes are open).
