Here in PA, our stolen gun percentage has almost disappeared.

I can only imagine that all the multi-hued unicorns flying overhead are quite colorful and lovely.

In the case of Private to Private transactions, the seller and buyer need to be present at an FFL dealer to re-register the firearm to the buyer.

Unless the parties have a criminal record - in which case the firearm changes hands with no record at all.  Mysteriously the correlation of "criminal" and "illegal" transaction seems to be quite high.

I as well am pro- law enforcement. Being a prior marine, I am for gun control and the registry for any and all arms.

I'm all for the mandatory registration of keyboards.  I think that posting on the internet is a privilege, not a right, and that you should have to go through a very thorough background check, complete with prints, psychological evaluation, and, indeed, a very comprehensive rectal examination.  Yearly. I mean, people post things on the internet which aren't safe for children to view.  We must protect the children mustn't we?  I don't think that common-sense registration of keyboards, and the marginally inconvenient items listed, are too much to ask of law-abiding citizens.

my grandfather was a Police Officer that died in the line of duty by a simple B&E call where the firearm was legally obtained but not registered. It was taken by the perpretrator from the gun owner and used to kill my Grandfather

My aunt was shot by a cop with his service revolver.  In your scheme that revolver would have been registered by my aunt wouldn't be any less dead.

I assume if the police knew the firearms that were in that house my grandfather wouldnt have gone to the door alone.

Or they could do what they do in the rest of the country - assume the people aren't defenseless.  An ax hurts.  In England they're registered.  Move
