[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on statistics of how many guns are there vs number of gun related accidents, it's pretty clear that gun owners in general are keeping things very safe as is. [u]Why do I need to register my gun with the state police?[/u] To facilitate inspection and seizure? [u]No, I will not register my guns[/u] with the agency that may come and take it away from me because the government thinks it knows better about what's good for its citizens than the citizens themselves. As for annual inspections - if the government had the resources to do home-to-home inspections, their time and resources would be better spent making sure everyone's fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors were working correctly.

No, your steps are not necessary to keep guns safe. What I *can* get behind are mandatory background checks and gun safety classes. [/quote]

This is where you start to sound like a paranoid criminal rather than responsible gun owner.  No one's taking away your legal guns; the Second Amendment continues to protect your right to own the guns.  It's just registering them with the state government, like we all register our cars and our boats.  Registering them makes lots of sense because police officers responding to an address with guns will know what they're walking into and can keep everyone safe.  Also, if someone owns a gun but does something later makes them disallowed (like gets convicted for a felony), then the government should know who they so the gun can be transferred.  Why would you possibly be against that?  And the safety inspection is only for those homes that have both guns and kids.  If you want to avoid an annual safety inspection, then just store your guns away from the kids.

When gun people refuse to even report their guns to the state government, they start to sound like people who have something dirty to hide.  If you're a lawful and safe gun owner, you should encourage reporting guns to the government, because it helps keep guns away from the bad people.

Why aren't you for safety?[/quote]
