More people die by getting struck by lightning, falling out of bed, die while smoking in bed...Think about it....We register our cars...we register to vote....we used to register for the draft, etc. AND, gun enthusiasts on here simply LOVE to flaunt their knowledge of their guns, calibers, magazines, eta l......
YET, mention to them that they should register their weapons to a centralized data base, and they go ballistic (pardon the expression.)
Let me ask the opposite
why do you want to register guns?
Let's assume Mateen had been required to register his assault weapon and pistol after purchase. Would that have discouraged him from killing 50 fucking people and wounding 50 more?
Now as to the answer to your question.
Duh, the government can't confiscate what they don't know about.
Do you know of anyone who's talking about confiscating cars? No? Me either.
Registration would help with the everyday gun violence . It'd hamper straw purchases for one .
As for the paranoid "confiscation " crowd . You are already licensed , there's your list.
Give me one good reason you or anyone else needs to k ow what I own whether it be a weapon, a TV or anything else
Because guns are extremely dangerous leading to the deaths of thousands a year .
Than die at the hands of someone with an Ar15...
