    You are not paying attention. The question is accountability for the gun. Not the action of the owner. Who said anything about murder? You.

    You mean like our government not giving the Mexican cartels free guns that come back into the US?

    Is that the type of accountability you seek?

    Exactly. That sting was intended to catch the gun runners that buy unregistered assault rifles in the US, over a hundred a day since there is no legal limit on the number of guns one person can buy. Registration could easily prevent that kind of abuse of the system by criminals.

    I don't see that you're winning this debate at all. You argue to @Tiger Exile that the problem at Sandy Hook was that the owner of the registered guns didn't act responsibly, then you argue at @Bengal B that registration makes an owner responsible. You're contradicting yourself.

    We agreed on nothing, you perception is poor. The government didn't break they law, they just bungled the sting.

    No, I said registration makes an owner accountable for his guns. That should make them feel more responsible but sometimes it doesn't. The owner got killed with her own guns because she didn't secure them. But she didn't commit mass murder, either.

    Why not just make being caught with an illegal firearm an automatic 10 year sentence. Why is everything always put on the honest people that aren't criminals?

    What is being put on them? There is nothing to fear from gun safety measures if you are not a criminal.
