LMFAO! You’re a brilliant paralegal that has found the magical loophole that circumvents FOPA1986 and allows the Feds to create a national firearms registry under current law! Bravo.I know. I know. You've had enough crow for the day. Just one last dunk on you because it's so easy and fun.
As I mentioned, your reading comprehension is suspect. This is apparently the quote you're referring to from the Gifford's website:
SUMMARY OF FEDERAL LAW
There is no comprehensive national system of gun registration. In fact, federal law prohibits the use of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to create any system of registration of firearms or firearm owners.
Note it does not say that there is a per se federal bar on the creation of a gun registration system. Rather it states that NICS can't be used to create such a system.
Is what's being debated that Congres hasn't authorized a registry? they haven’t and current law prevents any fed entity from creating “rules or regulations” to create one.
Or that Congress can't create a registry (unconstitutional)? they can via creation of a new law. The constitution is quiet on the topic of a registry. However that would be in conflict with FOPA1986 and require reconciliation since the new law would create a registry that current law forbids the implementation of.
Those are two different things.

OMFG you are dense and disingenuous.Apparently, our crow-eating friend thinks that Congress, under current statutory law, can't create a gun registry system. He begrudgingly admits such a system is likely constitutional. However, his support for the statutory bar argument is a code section that places constraints on the rules and regulations the AG/DOJ can promulgate. He thinks that this would have to be repealed before Congress could create such a registration system. He fails to see a distinction between a statute and an agency-promulgated rule/regulation, and he is unaware that statutes can be repealed by implication.
He is also fond of saying I'm not a lawyer, despite me repeatedly dunking on him over this issue. That's the current state of play, basically.
Everyone agrees that Congress would have to pass a law for a registry. And in doing so it would overwrite the previous law.
Not sure what the point of this debate is.
Take it up with evil. She’s the one claiming it’s simple to do and spent the last three pages telling us there’s nothing preventing itEveryone agrees that Congress would have to pass a law for a registry. And in doing so it would overwrite the previous law.

@evillawyer I'd hate for you to miss this inquiry.in like manner, if gun ownership was found to be suppressed in law abiding, conscientious citizens, would it be problematic for you?
No I agree with you. She just won’t answer she will ignore it. She is convinced her mama told her all guns are evil and from the debilI don't see inconsistency in the question. both voting and gun ownership are voluntary rights guaranteed and not compulsory . If it is troubling one can be suppressed by regulation, isn't is also troubling the other can be as well?
She’s stated before. She is completely against private gun ownership as the preferred approach but will settle on extreme government vetting on private gun ownership in limited use cases.Oh, gotcha. I misunderstood.
I think he will answer. And, I think his answer should provide insight to how he thinks.
Then it will be fascinating to gain insight into how one can hold two separate protected rights to different standards when it comes to regulation.She’s stated before.

As a matter of fact, I don't know if they're subjected to different standards of review. I know that the SCOTUS has upheld relatively modest voter ID laws (there's a mid 2000s case that addressed this). The interests and concerns are obviously different in the two cases. Would you be ok with the SCOTUS upholding modest gun registration laws for each gun you owned?
I filled out my information when i bought a pistol. Idk if it is a "registry" but i know i can be traced to that gun should someone want to. I also know the pistol fell out of a boat on the Tennessee river last year.As a matter of fact, I don't know if they're subjected to different standards of review.
