It was (and IMHO is) the duty of all citizens to be trained and equipped to join a militia if needed. This is the final backstop against the government. Hence the government must not have a list of who owns what nor should they be able to restrict ownership.

The government can't, the people can; and the people won't.

Regardless of your position on this, if the Second Amendment can be restricted so can all the others. They are necessary controls on government power (sans Prohibition), be careful what you wish for.

"Somewhere between bad and horrible." for me means a severe lack of snow and unusually warm weather here in Oregon. This time of year should be filled with deep pow days, not corn snow :(

+1 Why is it just assumed that everyone is unhappy with their life? I've got the perfect wife and kids, live in a great house in an awesome town, and have the best job I could ever imagine.
