A clear sign that progressives have no facts or logic is when they start making up opposing arguments instead of letting other people speak for themselves.

It never fails that someone who opposes civil liberties will invoke common sense.

Because progressives would then abuse that registry to violate people's civil liberties.

No.
Militiamen would have the right to real M-16s (not limited to semi-auto-only).  They would also have the right to grenades and grenade launchers, and 84mm bazookas.
If we ever bring back the militia I'm going to buy a whole closet full of 84mm bazookas.  No amount of body armor will be able to withstand a direct hit from one of those.
