That's not taking away anyone's right to own a gun - or 50 guns if they're that crazy about it. But it would make it easier to know who IS crazy, punish those who abuse their "right", make guns and their owners traceable, and probably reduce ownership significantly enough that mass shootings become something we only talk about in history books, not the daily news.


Thanks already done. Most states require registration. Permits for if you have kids? Sorry, don't want more federal intrusion into my home


Sorry, if you have a gun, I want your kids protected, even if you don't think you need it. See you at the ballot box.


Unlike you, I'm a good parent and my children fully understand the dangers of firearms and that they're not toys.

Sorry if my kids are smarter and I'm a better parent.


Yep, I also refuse to answer the doctor’s question... Do you own a handgun? Really? This is now part of a physical exam.


Yes, if it has to do with the impact of your lifestyle on your health, doctors should ask. Your answer is up to you. I don't answer all of my doctor's questions either.


So does driving s car, yet they don't ask that


There are lots of requirements to ensure that you're a responsible driver. Sure some people aren't, but those requirements make it a lot less likely you're going to be run down by a person who decides it's his constitutional right to start driving on sidewalks.

The high rate of gun deaths is a public health crisis - that's something that doctors are supposed to help fix.

Again, I'm wanting to know why it's so intolerable to let people know you're a gun owner.


I don’t have any problem letting people know I am a gun owner. However, I do not wish to be included in some government database.


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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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?
