Gun registry

Let's compromise, what are the pro-registry people willing to put on the table to convince the anti-registry side to agree?

Cars (at least in Ca) have to be registered every year and they have to pass a smog check ever other year to see if they're operating correctly. You have to have year-round insurances to register your car every year.

Commercial Vehicles have the above and they have to pass regular inspection checks.

It's the same but as long as you can breathe you can get a renewal, there isn't a skill qualifier or mental health test.

I wouldn't mind if there was a cert class you had to take to own a gun(annually/biannually) as well as basic mental wellness exams like mental competency exams similar to what's given to individuals suffering from dementia/age.

Yeah. This is All Lefty Fascist Bullshit.
Letting some Leftwing Nazis being in charge of doing the "Mental Welllness Exams" ?

Why don't we let People with Uncontrollable Spasms work in Nitroglycerin Factories while we are at it?

This whole thread is a ruse to hide a Fascist Agenda.

Fair enough.

I don't see how those certification requirements on gun owners would be functionally possible without first implementing a gun registration. Without one, it'd be solely on the owners discretion to do it every year (or whatever period of time) and I don't think it's crazy to assume there would be a very large portion of the gun-owner-pool who simply wouldn't do it. Do you?

A gun ownership license can be granted without requiring a gun registration. You don't need to couple those two datasets.

However....if you're trying to make it just like a car, yeah, I see what you're trying to do.

Rank Choice Voting

Democrats in power wouldn't go for something like this in a million years.

Well letting the People actually have the Power of Choice has never been a thing the Democrats/Left have been in favor of..

There is no eye exam for driver's license renewal in my state (AL). You just have to pay the fee and that's it. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to go anywhere to get it renewed unless it's been 8 years since you had your picture taken for it in which case you have to go get your photo updated. You can renew over the internet.

I'm still wondering why gun registry is good, but it's bad to ask to see the social media accounts of people who wanna come here?

That's looney leftist logic for ya, Surt. Best not to dwell on that crazy "logic" for too long or it could drive you nutty.

Yeah, but in Switzerland, if I'm not mistaken, all the men are actually [b]required to own a firearm aren't they and even carry around with them for the nation's defense? It's not the same situation as the the 3 biggest mass murderers in history having an intent to confiscate all the guns after forcing people to register them. [/B]

But you are mistaken.

Ok, my bad then. I could've sworn I heard that somewhere. Perhaps I had the countries mixed-up? Maybe it was Sweden perhaps?

Guns must be registered, mental health checks are in place.

I knew it was something similar to what I was thinking. Thanks for clearing it up.

No wonder people in the south can't drive for shit. That's f*cked up. Considering how obese and unhealthy folks are down there, it's concerning to think that plenty of elderly people drive when they physically aren't in shape to.

People in the south can generally drive just as well as people in any other state, dummy. Also, not everyone in the south is obese and unhealthy either. You are using untrue stereotypes to lump all southerners together. I'm sure next you'll probably be claiming we all sleep with our sisters and eat cornbread and grits three times a day as well lol.

In case you didn't know, most of the country as a whole is considered overweight and has an unhealthy diet, not just people in the south.

You can keep your semi-autos and extended mags. Just register them all and trade in your empty mags to acquire new ammo. Limit the amount of ammo one can have on hand. (less than 100 rounds per gun sound fair?)

*sigh* No, for the reasons already mentioned above by several posters that is a very bad idea. Registering either guns or ammo is not a good idea. You're wrong as you often are on so many topics.

One more thing, once people reach a certain age in our state they may have to take an eye exam to renew their driver's license; just not sure and don't feel like checking at the moment. I'm only middle-aged so that may be why I haven't had to take one yet to renew my license.

So my compromise is lift restrictions on owning certain kinds of weapons and require registration of firearms and ammunition.

Those who say "but the people must be able to fight back against the corrupt government derr" are out of touch with reality. Civilians don't have access to military grade hardware/resources, and the technological differences between the weapons on the two sides (that didn't exist in 18th century) means that a rebellion would be wiped out like the Indians resisting colonization.

Release a bio-weapon that the soldiers have secret vaccine protection against and watch the rebellion die out in days.

if people fear about the gun confiscation shit, register gun licenses, not guns themselves, easy as hell, works fine

you get people checked to be mentally sane and able to handle the gun, using a gun without the license being prohibited, but the state not caring if you really have the gun, how many, and where are you hiding them

hell, let's get all 18/21+ people to have a mental health check and basic mental ability/physical ability check for the guns

lots of countries have every person passing the specific age go to get themselves diagnosed for potential military service, it wouldn't be that different

Me personally I don't care if individuals have access to military-grade equipment. If you can afford to buy a minigun by all means do it.

That's a interesting start, is there anything else you'd be willing to put on the table?
