You should be. If it's required for cars, it should be for guns too. Nothing in the constitution prohibits it. |

The Australian example. After banning semi-automatic rifles, the Australian rate of mass murder dropped to zero, and the rate of homicides and suicides dropped as well.
http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/no-mass-shootings-australia-20-years-how-did-they-do-n597091 I am not advocating we do the same thing here, the politics here won't allow it. But it proves that gun control does in fact work. |
But policies can change... |
Yes It does you have a reasonable expectation of privacy |
Which part dictates privacy for gun ownership? |
Gun ownership is in the bill of rights and a right bestowed upon you for merely existing, it isn't grant by the government. It's a constitutional right, as is the expatation of privacy. Cars are not, and are run and regulated by the state |
Why should you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to guns? You don't have such an expectation with many other items you purchase. And the right to provacy does not trump other people's safety. Hell, if you want to buy Sudafed, you have to show ID. |
| I say just ban registered democrats from obtaining guns, crime will drop 99% |
But where is it called out in the Constitution or Bill of Rights? Privacy for gun ownership? |
Right to privacy and right to gun ownership are two totally separate rights, and neither is unlimited. Also the right 2nd amendment says a "WELL-REGULATED militia," so the government has the right and obligation to regulate guns. Guns were in fact tightly regulated in early America, including the creation of gun owner lists. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-gun-control/2012/12/21/6ffe0ae8-49fd-11e2-820e-17eefac2f939_story.html |
Or require an IQ test and gun ownership will plummet. Sorry, Rs, no guns for you! |
Expectation of privacy exists now? Those are the "penumbras" that gave us Roe v. Wade. |
Nearly half of Americans eligible to vote are are NOT registered. And only half of those registered actually vote. As we read and type, Republicans in many states are doing what they can to reduce those numbers further. Got any more bright ideas? |
The militia argument has been debunked numerous times and the founders intentions are clear. Try to keep up |
