Janet Reno, Former AG of the USA: Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.

ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT MORE BACKGROUND CHECKS WILL REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE SIGNIFICANTLY IS AN UTTER FOOL.  BACKGROUND CHECKS ONLY PROVIDE AT DATA BASE FOR THOSE IN GOVERNMENT TO KNOW WHO ARE THE LEGAL OWNERS OF GUNS.  THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT CRIMINALS WHO OWN GUNS.  AND BELIEVE ME, AT SOME POINT THOSE DATA BASES CAN BE USED TO CONFISCATE THE WEAPONS OF HONEST CITIZENS. 

ONCE YOUR NAME GOES ON A GOVERNMENT LIST, IT IS THERE FOREVER AND WILL AT SOME TIME BE USED AGAINST YOU IF THE GOVERNMENT IS SO INCLINED.  REGARDLESS OF WHAT LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES SAY, THEIR GOAL IS NOT JUST THE REGISTRATION OF FIREARMS, BUT THEIR CONFISCATION.   AND NOT ONLY WOULD THEY TAKE AWAY THE WEAPONS OF PRIVATE CITIZENS, THEY THEN WOULD TAKE AIM AT THE WEAPONS OF LOCAL AND STATE POLICE AND WOULD ALLOW ONLY AN ELITE FEDERAL POLICE FORCE TO CARRY ARMS.  AND THESE SAME DO-GOODERS WOULD EVENTUALLY SEEK TO DISARM THE MILITARY OR SEVERELY REDUCE ITS POWER.  THESE PEOPLE ARE WOULD BE UTOPIANS WHO DON'T SEE THE DANGERS OF THE REAL WORLD AND THINK THAT PUTTING DAISIES IN THE BARRELS OF GUNS WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING.
