Stopping Islam fanatics, Sharia law zealots, and radicalizable Muslims from coming to America would certainly save more than one life, so - applying the logic of gun control - it is well worth doing
Gun control nuts of the Left are pushing for the national registry of gun owners. It's a "common sense" measure that, according to the anti-gun zealots, is worth imposing on America if only one life can be saved by it. Never mind that those who are targeted with the registration are law-abiding individuals, for otherwise they would not have passed the background check that is required for lawful acquisition of a firearm. Never mind that gangsters and criminals do not show much desire to comply with the law and are not going to register their tools of trade. Never mind that the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and registration of all those who wish to exercise their Constitutionally-protected rights smells like an invitation of oppression and enslavement.
