[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, a few states (too few) already require registration of certain guns.  http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/gun-owner-responsibilities/registration-of-firearms/

Has there been a wave of state-sponsored gun confiscations in those states?  Have those state registries led to any infringement of the Second Amendment?  Nope.[/quote]

Have registrations lowered the number of accidents? Link?[/quote]

None of the accidental shootings posted so far occurred in either Hawaii or DC (where registration required). Most (all?) from states with no registration required.

Also, my proposal was not simply registration, but also[b] a mandatory home check to ensure gun safely stored if children are also in the home[/b]. Seems simple and reasonable. Not sure why you'd oppose it. If you keep guns and ammo locked up (as you claimed previously) it should be easy for you to comply. Might save some of these other kids though. [/quote]

Sorry, I don't want bureaucrats anywhere near my children. Thank you, but no, thank you. I'm cool with registrations of all sorts, but your paws need to be off and away from my family. [/quote]

That's fine. In my view, you have the freedom to choose between your guns and reasonable safety regulations. If you don't want to comply with safety regs, don't have guns. If you want guns, comply with the regs. It's not hard. Your choice.  [/quote]

No, you cannot pass conditions so drastic as to make it excessively difficult to own guns. This is the same logic that the SCOTUS used to strike down Texa's abortion laws. Forcing someone to open their private home to police inspection is excessive. The US goes to great lengths to protect the privacy of individuals, especially in their own home. [/quote]

According to conservatives, privacy is a made up right that does not exist in the constitution.  That whole zone of privacy is what y'all mock as "penumbras and emanations".  Griswold v. Connecticut
