The law states you have the right to own a gun. It says nothing about appropriate safety mechanisms in a society that is addicted to violence, glorifies murder and considers violence to be a means of moving forward.
If people were actually willing to act like adults with their firearms, then a registry is not necessary. But clearly we know there are evil folk out there who want to just go out and kill people and I'd rather inconvenience many in order to catch the few that might kill innocent people.
I also never stated in any circumstance. I was speaking to guns specifically.

so, in light of the fact that no such authority exists, you still favor oppression ??

They are not murdering children.
See how you seem crazy now.
so, you're discounting robberies/burglaries to get the guns as something else ??

We have incidents of people attacking doctors who preform abortions.
We have no reports of gun owners being attacked for owning a gun.

Not really.
All the shootings of recent memory were done with legal purchased fire arms. Clearly something with the current system is not working if whackos can still legally buy guns and then off two dozen people in 20 minutes.
Sure, criminals don't get legal guns , but that's not what were talking about here.
We should be checking for mental illness and criminal history and register gun owners. No need to make guns illegal, you just need better oversight. This is probably the only topic that I would advocate for MORE government intervention as opposed to less.
