[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What have a listserve and what we do is identify any address with a criminal domiciled and spread the word!

it all came about from a similar non-anonymous question on guns in homes, and it turned out the person advocating outing of firearms owners had a stepson with an assault record!

A list member who was it the PD identified that person, and we found that a number of us because of Human REosurces jobs or law enforcement jobs had access to databases with arrest records whihc in the US are public .

Half or more of  country owns guns that is not the risk factor, the risk factor for violence, be it bating death, knife fightng or attack injuries or death, sexual attack --  is arrest records.

about 10% of DC has arrest records and those are 90% of people who commit murder. Know where they live. If a kids big brother or step father or mother's boyfriend has an arrest record OUT THEM so everyone knowns![/quote]

Actually less than half of Americans own guns: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/wonk/wp/2016/06/29/american-gun-ownership-is-now-at-a-30-year-low/. But the average gun owner owns 8 guns. Is it really so mysterious that the rest of us think gun owners comprise a high number of psychos? Who needs 8 guns? And let's be real: most of these people aren't well-educated and conscientious.[/quote]

Why does the number matter, would you rather have a gun owner with 8 guns who keeps them responsibly secured in a safe or someone with just one who keeps it out lying around in arms reach? [/quote]

The former, obviously. But the people who keep arsenals and own assault rifles and the like seem less likely to be responsible gun owners. [/quote]

Show me the cites that say this is true.  To the contrary, the people that I know who own multiple guns (and actually use them for sport) are probably more safety conscious than your average idiot who went to a gun show and bought something shiny.  In any even, haven't you learned that making generalizations about people is a bad idea?  So just stop.  You're seriously making yourself sound like a fool.[/quote]
