and 12 times more likely than the next most similar country. Registration does work.

With registration it becomes very difficult to sell a gun to a prohibited person and the consequences of doing so are dire for the seller.

With registration it is possible to find and confiscate the guns possessed by anyone who changes from a non-prohibited person to a prohibited.

With registration guns can be removed from the homes of people who, for mental health reasons, become a danger to themselves or others.

Besides we have it on good authority that gun owners are law abiding to a fault.
