allcheck,
Perhaps I chose poor wording, but the main reason I would agree to register a handgun is that I don't see how it would cause a problem for me. Registering handguns also seems like a compromise between us who want to own guns, and those who despise guns. I could just be ignorant of what registering a handgun entails. What kinds of problems has registration caused in other countries? I would really like to know what arguments there are against handgun registration, not because I am totally pro gun registration, but because I am open to here how registering a gun is a bad thing. With more knowledge I may change my view.

As a side note, if you are going to tell me that I am "someone willing to lead others down a slippery slope," and "ruining the last great hope humanity has at liberty," it would be nice of you to explain how I am doing that. I really have no intention of the above mentioned and like to know the facts for criticism of such. I seriously would like to know what is so bad about gun registration.

added:
I just read the above post and believe that if registering guns didn't change crimes in Canada, it would not here in the U.S. However, I still don't see how registering a gun is a bad thing for a law abiding citizen such as myself. If there is a problem with registering a gun, I really want to know what it is, since I plan on purchasing guns in the future (handguns included).
