  • There are insurance/registration issues that can address that. Of course there endless possible hypotheticals. I’m personally in favor of some sort of “drivers license” equivalent for guns.

    But a 21 year old age limit almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde.

      I am highly skeptical of registration because there is a 99.99% certainty that it will be the GOP to use it and strip away weapons from anyone who is not a registered Republican.

        Aside from the rather extreme criticisms (genocide stuff), universal registration is a bad idea for everyone because these things keep getting hacked/leaked:

        If you are on the registry, it’s an invitation to descrimination or careful/skilled burglary.

        If you aren’t on the registry, it’s an invitation for violent crime with little/no resistance.

      disagree. if people want to do something, terrible or not, they will find a way illegally.

      • Piracy bro lol there’s apples and oranges but that’s skateboards and dinosaurs.

        Even with your point being valid there’s tremendous value for society for making somethings as hard as possible.
