User Clip: Josh Hawley on gun registration

“I just wonder where this is headed,” Sen. Hawley said during testimony by a Heritage Foundation official. “Where are we actually going with these proposals? It seems to me if you really want a universal background check law to be truly effective and enforceable, you’ve got to have some kind of a firearm registry,” he went on: “You’ve got to actually know what firearms are out there, how they’re registered, where they’re changing hands. Otherwise,” he added, “it doesn’t seem like it would be terribly effective.” close
