I posted a link to the petition at another gun forum. Many posts followed that they would not sign it because they feared the Feds would then change the regulations for carrying to comply with the strict rules of the most anti 2A states. Some refused to sign because they dis not wan their names on the petition because it might be a pseudo federal gun registry.

The Feds have not been able to pass a piece of anti 2A legislation in more than a decade. I just can't imagine them getting NY or NJ type regs in place even if they wanted to, which they don't. As for fear of a registry the Feds already have one with the names of everyone who has undergone a background check since they were started in the 90s. Go figure?
