Going Underground | Firearm Non-Registration Rates | Gun Facts: If registration doesn’t impede gun ownership nor affect crime, what is its purpose?

OK - a bunch of numbers with no column headings to tell us what the numbers represent ???
Most of the Geeks readers are so smart that they don't need no stinking column headings. Just the raw data.
If they can make up the data, I can make up the presentation style.
ALSO, I didn't think anybody would notice.
ALSO ... there's a freaking LINK for goodness sake!
ALSO, nobody told me this blogging thingie was going to be so demanding, or I would have taken up knitting instead! (Except I couldn't remember the difference between "knit" and "purl" so all my knitted socks ended up inside-out.)
