NYT Opinion: Register All Guns,
License All Gun Owners
By AWR Hawkins. February 25th, 2016
On February 24 New York Times op-ed contributors Abner Mikva and Lawrence Rosenthal argued that it is time to register all guns and license all gun owners; background checks are not enough.
Moreover, the authors suggested such licensing and registration would not violate the Second Amendment.
According to the NYT op-ed, background checks are not sufficient, there are too many ways to go around them. "A more effective system would require everyone who owns or acquires a gun to register it." And a second component to this "effective system" would be a licensing requirement for all persons who wish to register guns.
The licensing requirement would allegedly force every would-be gun owner to prove he or she could "use a gun responsibly." It would be like a background check that tries to guess the future. ...... 
Here we go again - the classic recipe for potential confiscation. "Would not violate the Second Amendment"? Well, that rather depends on how this is viewed because at the very least, the cost of gun ownership could rise and preclude many from their right to bear arms for self defense. Beyond that and even at best, it is still a manouver to instill extreme 'gun control', let alone the astronomic associated cost to even implement.
