We would object because the national documentation of all firearms for "tracking" purposes is the first step towards the ultimate goal of confiscation. It always has been in the past and it is the goal now.
I am obviously not as knowledgable about the history of gun ownership in the U.S. as you are. Would you mind educating me about when the U.S. had the goal of confiscation?
According to the Washington Post, the working group on gun control led by Joe Biden is considering some of the following recommendations for gun control.
- stiffer penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors
Hmmm... I carry with a CCW. I also pick up my young daughter at school. I have never entered the school with any firearm but sometimes do have one on me or in my car console when I pick her up in the school parking lot. If I have to go in, it gets unloaded and locked in the car.
Concealed means concealed and never revealed.
So would I need to stop carrying? Do I leave it at Starbucks down the street while I pick her up since I have nowhere else to put it more than 1000 ft (or whatever) from the school parking lot?
She's 6 and I plan on teaching her to shoot next year. I plan to buy her a .22 of her own. Should I toss that idea also because some mindless boob in Washington knows better than I do how my child should be raised?
About a thousand times a day on this forum. Many literally fantasize about murdering fellow Americans in some imagined scenario where the government is trying to seize their guns.

how about when the japanese on the west coast got all their firearms taken from them, and they were all herded into our own american concetration camps?
lots of confiscation and freedom depriving happening via the federal government.

That's a really good article about how guns end up in the hands of criminals.
In that study, 1 out of 5 guns confiscated in Chicago crimes were bought from ONE gun store in Cook County! Clearly there is something fishy going on at that store.

Something like 10% of dealers sell the guns used in a sizable majority of gun crimes.
