What proof would satisfy you?

The answer is "None".  It is impossible to do any type of empirical evidence on a policy until the policy exists.  So you have created this nice little circular argument where you can sit back and claim you would be convinced by "empirical" evidence while knowing that it is impossible to present any evidence that would satisfy you.

I'm glad you have already answered your own question for me. Empirical evidence would satisfy me. Actual research on the effect of gun registration and/or licensing would satisfy me. And studies can be done. Two states and DC have gun registration laws, as well as many other countries in the world. Research can be done, but there isn't any to support your claims.

Nice attempt to twist my words, yet again. I am merely pointing out that anecdotal evidence is not adequate for creating public policy.

Yes, my opinion is based on the research and studies. I specifically said I have read the research and that none exists on the policy you are pushing. You are asking me to provide something I said doesn't exist.
