Yes, handgun registration would be a very bad thing. There's no waffling on that in the firearms community.
As Andy and I discuss, there are two ways to discuss the "gun debate": logically and legally. Arguments can be made that registration can not be allowed that addresses both of those areas:
Logically - Without failure, every single weapon confiscation was preceded by registration. Mao, Hitler, England, Australia, Darfur, etc, etc... Every single one.
Legally - It is preposterous to compare registering automobiles to registering arms. That's because there is no inherent (some would say God-given) right to drive a car that the US Constitution addresses. The Constitution does address the ownership of firearms. The Supreme Court has continually said that gun registration is unConstitutional.

Do you have a problem with that policy as it relates to handguns?
It seems sensible enough.
