THE Gun Thread

[onlinebiker]

Oh - it would work - if every American rolled over when the government asked....

Think that real likely? (Look north for helpful hints)

If so - you haven' t met many Americans....

We' re an unruly lot...

For the record, I've done a bit of research on this subject: 

• Several states (Hawaii, New York, Maryland, Michigan, Connecticut, and New Jersey) already require certain types of firearms to be registered.
  
• The federal government currently possesses records on the sales of a bit shy of a billion firearms, which are (unfortunately) prohibited by law from being put into a functional, searchable database, but I don't see why, if the law is changed, those records can't be properly digitised (outside of being scanned as  "non-searchable, static images").
  
• These records they do have are because, by law, once a firearms dealer goes out of business, their records go (by law) to the ATF. So, it would seem like  the ideal option is to create a provision that active and licensed firearms dealers have to send their records to the ATF even before they go out of business.
  

This could actually work if the laws are changed, firearms dealer regulations are changed, and the laws are properly enforced. Unless, of course, ATF-licensed firearms dealers are really as unhinged as Biker either is or seems think everyone else is.

Pistols.  7 states and DC register pistols. And Commiefornia registers scary looking rifles.


And your proposed database is full of shit.

Once out of an FFL there IS NO TRACKING OF SALES. (Except the pistols ( at state level) and California scary rifles) as there is no requirement.

This means your proposed database would be totally inaccurate.

AND - FFL.dealers have been allowed to destroy records after 20 years. ATF does not have records from businesses that have been open over 20 years.

And pistols - if a gun owner.moves to a state that does not register handguns IT IS EFFECTIVELY OUT OF ANY REGISTRY as no requirement for registering exists.


Know what you are talking about instead of spewing, bub...
