But how do get anyone who owns an unregistered gun to register it? The paranoia with most of the folks who own those guns runs really high.

Can we agree that universal background checks as part of the gun buying process is a pretty sound and reasonable thing? After the Newtown School massacre this came up for debate once again.

Well, it was quickly shot down, again, because of the NRA and the fear instilled in the Pro Gun groups about how that would be "giving an inch".
