(49,445 posts)...with failing to register a gun, right?
Possessing a gun, yes. Failing to register a gun, no. 5th Amendment right to not self-incriminate.
And it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you. Bans are proposed all the time. There are people out there grimly determined to remove as much firepower from the public as possible, in as incremental a fashion as needed.
So excuse me for not trusting Chuck Schumer or Diane Feinstein or Michael Bloomberg.
The problem YOU face is that UBC with registration is DOA. Your side's accomplishments in Australia pretty much kills anything that resembles registration.
You want gun owners to trust the same government that crushes whistleblowers, massively spies on as aspects of its citizens as technologically possible regardless of legality or constitutionality. That uses that information in God knows what ways, but doubtless involves blackmail, subpoenas, investigations, prison, trials, threats of lost jobs and families, and professional disrepute.
Sorry.
And wouldn't lower the crime rate. It would, however, put more Republicans and their crime-increasing socio-economic policies in power.
