@JesseInTX It is enforceable and similar laws have worked well in both city jurisdictions and other countries. Why are you opposed to keeping track of firearms in the country?

JesseInTX · 51-55, M

@Graylight no one needs to know if I legally own firearms. Especially a liberal government bent on taking away our firearms. That particular piece of legislation would be ruled unconstitutional before it ever went into affect. And might I ask what city jurisdictions has this “worked well” in?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@JesseInTX What representative or bill has ever suggested a complete ban on firearms?

It's not even a constitutional question. Firearms are protected under the 2nd amendment. What's being proposed is regulation, and because we live in our greed-lovin' capitalist economy, people want to make money. This is about taxes and fees as much as it is about regulation.

And I don't think anyone needs to know if I'm properly trained to operate a vehicle. Who I kill and endanger is my own business. My medical and legal bills, though, that's on you.
