Shorthand of new law:
1. Requires background check approval before you can build your own firearm, then registers home-manufactured firearm.
2. Requires background check approval for private 'P2P' firearm sales/transfers, then registers firearm to new owner.

And why should that be a problem?
'Trep, I say this with absolutely no disprespect intended because it is the truth as we sit here in 2013:
It's an American thing which we don't expect anybody outside America to understand.
That is honestly the answer. We managed to get by with a fairly decent structure of laws in relation to firearms for the first 200 years of America's history. The Second Amendment was in full control. The past few decades, however, the definition of "infringed" has been battered, raped, and left in tatters and many of us have had enough.
The only "permission" I Constitutionally need to manufacture my own firearm comes from the fact that I am an American citizen. That's it. No exceptions and no modifications per the United States' Founding Fathers. All the rest of this garbage constitutes some high assed fool with a string of titles after his name erroneously believing that I should give a flip what his opinion on the issue is and carrying that opinion forward in an attempt to enact new laws and restrictions they lack the Constitutional authority to enact.

How exactly is the second amendment under attack here?
The second is probably the safest part of the Constitution because of recent Court rulings. Its basically untouchable now without the Court reversing a decision.
And that isn't likely to happen.

Because registration is the first step to confiscation.
Look at New York.

Uh huh and what about delusional people making weapons in their houses? I've been following this arms BS for the whole thing. The gun crowd says it's mental health issues. But by your definition you can't touch the sick. IT'S YOUR RIGHT. Can't have it both ways man.

As crazy as this sounds, if,if we make it that far...and the mid-terms go to the Dims, the 2nd will be ammended, there will be no way to stop the complete control state. these control freaks have the WH, senate and if they get the house this is over, period. They can blab BS all they wish, but when the 2nd is gone the 1st goes with it.....talk about a crossroad.......

C'mon Beez. You're better than to play that totality BS. Reread that and you'll see what I'm saying. You may not like it but you'll see it. Can't have it both ways.

Then why is New York now sending out notices to gun owners who have firearms now deemed illegal advising them to turn them in or face consequences?
If the guns aren't registered, they wouldn't know where they are to confiscate them.
Also, both Britain and Australia started down their paths to gun control with national gun registries. Who could possibly object to that? Then the firearms were banned and the authorities knew right where to go to take them. The man Crocodile Dundee was modeled on died rather than turn his gun in.

Tell me how you control the access to guns to mentally disturbed individuals without checks?
