Lets forget the term "anecdotal" and instead concentrate on "hypothetical"
Gun found in a room or car with 4 people. One person claims ownership. How do you know if he is lying?
Police are responding to a shooting in an open carry state. On the way they come upon a group of 4 men with semi-auto rifles. Do police have the right to stop them for investigation even though they are not breaking any laws? How long could they be detained in order to determine if any of them have any felonies, or misdemeanor domestic assaults, or a current civil restraining order, order of protection, is on bond or supervised release, or has been found to be mentally ill or dangerously ill by a court of law? We all know how long it can take just to run one simple drivers license. It would take forever to check that many different record bases. But if we required gun owners to have licenses they could find all of that out immediately by just running owners license.
The single biggest benefit of registration and licensing is that it allows law enforcement to be able to enforce the laws we already have on the books. AND IT DOES NOT TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!
