You’re premise is entirely contingent on the idea that a registration means the gov’t is going to confinscate your guns. We live in America w/ a constitution and second amendment. No one is taking away your guns bcus we as a society wish to better supervise - don’t let that word scare you - gun owners in an effort to better track would be criminals. The same way you register your car, we would do so w/ guns. No one is looking to take away your car. *Just for future reference... this is not a forum to start explaining that the right to bear arms is a con protected right, a car is not* That’s wonderful. We have an amendment that protect your right to own a gun. By definition a register is not a confiscation, no matter what you convince yourself of. Wha...?

Exactly. Which is precisely why the constitution was made fluid and open-ended. Hello amendments. Women & minorities are also not mentioned in the constitution. But other amendments such as 9A were designed to protect rights that may not be specifically stipulated w/in the con itself.

You already said this. Why even offer a register. Just tell people we’re taking your guns. You might just be letting your irrational fear control your thought process.

That could easily be part of the process.

Like I said... start w/ the local offenders - then local owners - the state - so on and so on. Are you trolling? I feel like you’re trolling. I’m not writing in Japanese am I?

Except we’re not targeting innocent people. We’d be eliminating innocent people by logical deduction; which would hopefully lead to a narrowing down the field enough to highlight the perpetrator(s).

FFS... you would be eliminated/disqualified as a suspect. For christ sake... drop your storm trooper fantasies.

*sigh* I would imagine we would narrow down on specific people who own/possess this specific weapon. Once a quick inspection is completed, this person would either be disqualified or identified.

I thought I explained this already.... Why do you deconstruct every sentence as if there is some deep underlining meaning? The point of the database is to have a record of people w/ guns. From there, we can deduce and narrow down a field of potential suspects in the event of an offense. Is this really that hard?

😕

So before we even got this far, we could amass other evidence(s) which would help narrow down a search, which would conveniently eleminate many in the register. Yes... that’s why we could expand the search once local has exhausted their resources. *side: I read once ammo distributers have been approached about engineering ammo w/ tracking serial numbers inside shell casings. That could potentially be a thing some day.

Perfection is not the standard. We are working from a place in time where more guns exist than Americans. But we must start somewhere. From here forth, any guns purchased would be registered in a national/state/city/county database.

As I thought I thouroughly explained... the ammo/casing retrieved from a crime scene would be traced to those in the area w/ the specific weaponry.

This has been the standard go-to retort for all gun enthusiasts. Now hear me out... a registry, but no confiscation. 😲😲😲
