Registration of all handguns.

[apocalypsehow]

21. No, it's not a false analogy. I purchased an item the state has determined needs to be kept track of

regardless of the motivations for doing so, and so the law requires that it be registered and tagged.

The state could - and should - do the exact same thing with handguns, period.

"You may drive it untagged and unregistered on private property to your hearts content"

No, you cannot. In order to obtain a title to the vehicle showing proof of ownership, you must register and tag the car regardless of what you intend to do with it. Without obtaining said title - i.e., registering and tagging it - you cannot obtain car insurance or renew your drivers license. This myth of "you may drive it untagged and unregistered in private property" is a long-time strawman of the pro-NRA crowd, but it has been checked into and debunked repeatedly.

"But that's not how registration with guns would work"

Oh yes it is. And someday, will.
