I've got fairly strict ideas on gun control because thats how things work here, and it works really well. | I agree with this with the exception of 7 and 8 as they just seem kind of pointless (although its how the pistol license works here as well).
In the end I selected the "guns must be under lock and key" option when I voted as that just makes sense otherwise I too would have supported the "firearms must be registered" option.
