Ever hear the gun nuts say that gun registration will lead to confiscation?

[NYcarbineer]

Of course you have.

But NOW they're blaming the governments at all levels for not confiscating the Florida school shooter's guns.

So how about, the next time this sort of thing happens, we have all guns registered so at least we'll know what guns the psychos have when we go to confiscate them.

 

[Tank]

Kind of like illegal alien registration will lead to deportation?

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Didn't that guy have the cops called to his house like 40+ times? That sounds normal to me.

 

[Mousterian]

Gun (and owner) registration is an obvious first step in handling this epidemic.
Rigorous back-ground checks, for ALL gun sales will help, but registration is essential.

I thought we already did that? On TV cop shows, they always figure out who the gun belonged to. Why isn't life like TV?

I've heard more like 20 to 30-ish. Some were apparently on his younger brother? This was not a happy family, folks.

Another pathetic, confused, and dishonest argument.

By the way, when tyrants have taken power and confiscated guns, they have used the gun registration lists as their starting point.

If we had a good national database on reports of mental illness and if we required background checks for all gun sales, it would be extremely hard for a mentally ill person to legally buy a gun.

Why does the government need to know if a law-abiding citizen owns a gun?

When you fill out the paperwork to buy a gun in a gun store, have a background check run, none of that information is saved somewhere?

You can't make a common-sense statement like that! Ppl will call you a snowflake.

So if the gun is lost, stolen, or sold it can be tracked.

looks like the colonists are banding together again.... massachusetts just signed on too:

Malloy, Northeast Governors Form Coalition To Combat Gun Violence
Amid federal inaction on gun control, the Democratic governors of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey have formed a multistate coalition to better share information and pool resources to combat gun violence.

“We have waited for Washington to do something and of course that never quite happened,” Gov. Dannel P. Malloy told reporters on a conference call Thursday. “We can’t wait for the federal government to act. We have states with good intentions, with good laws. Let’s take it to the next step. Let’s work across our borders.”

The states will collaborate on several fronts, including creating a multistate task force to trace and intercept illegal guns, and establishing a regional gun violence research consortium through their public colleges and universities.

There will also be an effort to share information across state lines that isn’t readily available in the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System for gun sales.

The whole point of the 2nd Amendment is that it is a check against tyranny. The notion of registration runs diametrically opposite of this 2nd Amendment tenet. The Gov. can't even give you a guesstimate of the number of AR's in 'circulation' in the US... That's kind of the whole point. Registration only empowers the criminals (indirectly) and suppresses legal ownership directly.

We had a gun registry in Canada. Yes it was overly expensive to set up and all the usual complaints but we had it and it was working. The Conservative government of Stephen Harper killed it after the NRA came into Canada and did their usual fear mongering.

The Police Chiefs Association and the RCMP begged Harper to keep the gun registry saying that it was saving lives. When police got a call to an address, they were able to check the registry to determine if there were any weapons registry at this address and what they were.

The cost $2 billion which was flushed when the registry was scrapped.

Not legally I believe the deadline is 30 days to keep data.
