(6,655 posts)Gungeon devotee and NRA spokesperson, right down to the tired old bullshit NRA/Gungeon talking points. Do you get paid to write this stuff, or do you just copy and paste?
All guns should be registered in order to affix responsibility and accountability. And why in the hell should the information "remain private?" Are you people ashamed of owning guns? Is there some difference between what you Gungeoneers call just another "tool," and your automobile, or your shovel?
I know the argument from the NRA is that if gun ownership is public knowledge it would invite thieves. That is where the "responsibility" part comes in: secure your fucking gun. The accountability part kicks in after your gun is stolen, and should carry stiff penalties.
And your last statement is just asinine. What in the hell makes a gun owner more qualified to legislate gun laws than the people being shot at and killed in this country? The "business" of writing gun laws is the business of ALL the people, and not just the politician-buying Republican NRA. That's the thinking that got us to our current position, and it needs to end right fucking now.
Finally, it is extremist pro-gun thinking which has replaced rational thinking, and it's way past fucking time to put a stop to the NRA influence which has led to so many needless deaths.
