Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands."

What legitimate purpose would mandatory registration serve that justifies such a flagrant intrusion on our right to privacy?
guns are rarely left behind & recovered by police at crime scenes except in the following exceptional circumstances: they have been used in a shooting and are either untraceable, or were intentionally left by the criminal (or planted by a crooked cop) to implicate a 3rd party; or the person possessing the gun is dead or in custody. so the argument that registration will help trace guns used in crimes back to the criminals doesn't hold much water.
and unlike drivers, persons carrying and using guns are not forced to display a license plate that can be read from orbit, so any argument that registration will help police use information obtained from witnesses to trace guns back to criminals is equally specious.
So, exactly what "compelling state interest" do you fans of registration want to use as a pretext to justify violating the rights of gun owners?
Other than aiding with confiscation, exactly what legitimate purpose does registration serve?
According to data and research from essay tool many people have the erroneous belief that if someone wants to commit suicide he/she will find a way. Nothing could be further from the truth. Persons contemplating suicide are usually victims of brain diseases like bipolar disorder or severe depression. In moments of maximum weakness they seek the most certain way to end their unbearable pain. Guns provide the most certain means of committing suicide. Most other methods are haphazardly effective and often leave the person worse off in their brain and the other parts of their body and not dead. Truly, a worst of all possible outcomes. I believe the number one focus of gun control should be to break the link between guns and suicide. I offer no magic solution, only a suggestion about priorities for gun regulation.
