Governments and lists, you know...kind of a spotty history. The argument from folks such-as ran along the lines of those lists being a clear attempt to intimidate citizens who were exercising their constitutional rights. If the fed could somehow screw with the second, what would stop them from screwing with the fifteenth? Where does it end.
You're welcome.
Government keeps lists on citizens for lots of things,IRS, social security, and drivers licences most notably. If I owned a firearm, just like a car has a vin number and licence plate, and it got stolen, or worse, stolen and used in a crime, why the fuck would I not want it traced and the criminal charged for stealing my property?
I think the bullshit is that the far right has been sold too much cold war bullshit. I am glad to see however, even they are telling a GOP president to fuck off. It gives me some hope that we are not completely lost.
Your attempt to equate gun SAFETY to what Trump is doing is bullshit. The irony is that the far right thinks liberals should not be trusted owning firearms, there was a politician long ago that expanded gun rights to his loyalists and took them away from dissenters. That asshole committed suicide in a bunker.
