DF,

Thanks for the clarification. State list = handguns only. Fed list = all firearms.

FP,

I think what we have is political wordsmithing. Most Americans were opposed to a federal firearms registry, so instead the government has a "database" of firearms purchases. While I appreciate the difference, the database sure gives the gov't. a good idea of who might possess firearms.

Yeah, when ATF shows up at your door, try slamming it. The story you will have to tell will amuse us all.
