A deliberately incorrect statement, as explained above.

No, anything that infringes on our rights is unacceptable. This is further compounded by the fact that there are laws in place that are not being aggressively enforced that would actually make an impact.

Yes, I'm sure Vox, Vice and The Daily Beast are telling you exactly that. Regardless, the Constitution is not subject to the whims and vagaries of the public. Tell you what, I'll support a national registry if it comes attached to a Constitutional amendment that plainly states that no confiscation or mandatory buyback of any kind will ever be allowed and that anyone in public office advocating for such will be immediately removed from office and declared unfit to ever hold public office again. Deal?
