David- that's a very fair question and you know what? I don't have an answer. You are correct that the gun control people can be vague.
But you know what I would like? To have a reasonable discussion with gun rights people like yourself- and I know you know a whole lot more about guns than I do- and not have insults thrown at me. Calling me a snowflake won't get the job done. All either side wants is for the other side to listen. |

To me, it would be just about as effective as a so-called background check. |

I can think of several law enforcement applications. One is simple in that if I shoot you in Texas with my gun that I bought in Illinois, local law enforcement is going to be severely handicapped in solving the crime. Even if I left the gun at the scene, they'd have no way to trace it back to me unless they knew where I purchased it, and even then the state I purchased the gun in may protect me even further. It is unlawful to have any type of database in some states. Last edited by packs; 03-26-2018 at 05:05 PM. |

Specifics?
Okay. Let's have some! PLEASE!!! Everyone who has a suggestion, speak up? The question is this: WHAT actions will work, in your opinion, to decrease the growing number of mass shootings? Take any stance you want, just say something that YOU think will work! I will start us off by believing that thorough background checks could eliminate folks with mental issues from being eligible to own a firearm of any kind. Their absolute right to bare arms should be usurped by the need to keep others safe from attacks like the kinds we have been experiencing. To paraphrase what I have stated in my post signature, ALL of our rights as Americans come with an understood equal hand of responsibility and accountability. Those are words I have lived by all my live and I find it difficult for imagine anyone could make a valid argument against them. .

Last year I had a police officer almost hit me head on because he was playing on his phone. When we passed each other over half his car was in my lane. On the school gun thing. Now we have a police officer at each school. When I was in HS about 20% of the vehicles(all unlocked) had guns in them and there was never a problem. I live in a rural area so many of us hunted on the way to and from school. |

There are 37 states where you can privately purchase a gun without any form of registration or back ground check at all. Those 37 states should, in my opinion, compel people who purchase a firearm to alert some type of regulatory agency to the fact that they've purchased a gun.

what right does govt have to keep tabs on LAW ABIDING GUN OWNERS? none what right do you have to have a list to keep tabs on you neighbors? I believe you have no inalienable right to own a car, do you? you do to protect yourself. not to mention that background checks, do nothing to stop crime, gun bans do nothing to stop crime burden of proof lies on the gun grabbers, btw, I have the bill of rights and the 2nd amendment on my side.

a registry by it's nature is potentially something to be abused by govt. you may think govt is this wonderful thing designed to take care of you and rub your head while you go to sleep. I happen to know it isn't, it's generally a terrible way to solve most anything. there will never be a gun registry because we shall never allow it. It really is that simple.
