17. great evidence for tracking evil doers

My suspicion is that the resistment to registration has less to do with an Obama-led conspiracy to take all the gunz, and more to do with violent AntiAmerican right wing traitors trying to make sure that thier armories remain undetected by LEO.
Domestic terrorists are members of the NRA for good reason; Most of the NRA wants to destroy America and they are more than willing to help irresponsible, dangerous anti-American terrorists with finding a way to obscure or hide from LEO the extent of thier ability to cause murder and mayhem in the name of Teabagger treason and paranoid anti-American conspiracy theories.

When pure partisan hatred and paranoia is the reasoning behind the individual stockpiling of assault weapons and other tools of death, it's a sure sign that the individual should not be lagally able to own gunz.

One of the most common beliefs held by mass gun killers is that there is a conspiracy on the part of the government to take the precious gunz away from them- shouldnt we be using this factor in determining which gun owners represent a real threat, and which of them are responsible gun owners?

LEOs already are short-staffed and underfunded and unable to enforce (because of NRA/republican legislation to underfund gun law enforcement) our gun laws already on the books.
Keeping a registry would enable LEOs to keep an eye on dangerous concentrations of gunz in the hands of small bands of people that share the same extremist paranoid conspiracy theories and hatred for America.
Collecting gunz doesnt make the collector a bad person- collecting gunz because of a mental illness or to repel imagined jack-booted government thugs DOES make the collector a bad person that should not have legal rights to gunz.

Target shooting sports are fun, but mutilating an effigie of your exwife with a gun is sick and should be ample evidence of the charge of "irresponsible gun use" and violent misogyny.

These immoral actions on the part of extremists in the gun culture ought to be enough evidence to any clear thinking, fair minded individual that there are a lot of heavily armed NRA members that represent a real danger to our society- and the most sensible way to discover them is to register all firearms purchases~ especially the really large purchases as they are sometimes the culprit in many straw purchasing situations.

Time is running out for the extreme right wing in America and the gun fetish they display will one day be fully understood as an emotional and psychological illness, and like all other illnesses, hopefully we will find a cure- meanwhile it is up to fair minded and patriotic Americans to repudiate the misogyny, bigotry, hatred and violence of the gun fetish crowd.
Most Gundamentalists are not good Americans or responsible adults- they certainly shouldn't be trusted with huge caches of gunz and ammo- and 100% registration combined with backround checks will greatly reduce the number of violent, dangerous individuals and organizations with the firepower to threaten Americans and our future.

Well, it appears her fears are correct, if you and others think a registry is a good idea. Honeycombe8 May 2013 #25
Yeah, how could a registry be a bad idea? Gravitycollapse May 2013 #26
