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


I would add a requirement that gun owners have a special decal that they must place on their homes and vehicles so the rest of us can know. If personal protection is the basis of your need, you should be happy to let all the criminals in your life know that you're packing heat. And those of us who want to steer clear of guns know who to avoid.


Or, we could do the reverse.... require those who choose not to have guns in their house put a decal on their home that says, “Gun free zone.”
How do you think that would go over? Which homes do you believe criminals WITH guns will target?

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.

Owning a vehicle isn't a constitutional right


Requiring licensing and registration doesn't stop your constitutional rights. You have a constitutional right to free assembly, but if you are doing it in a public place, you need a permit. If you are doing it in a private place, you can be shut down if it is loud enough to disturb the neighbors. If you serve alcohol at your private free assembly, you can be held liable if one of your drunken guests drives away and kills somebody.

Not unless a second opinion can get you off the list. You're basically taking away a right without due process

Can't hunt deer/bear/elk/moose/caribou/turkey/goose/duck with stun guns.


Then get a friggin bow and arrow and do it the old fashioned way if you're such a rough and tough outdoors man.


You can't really shoot turkey, duck, goose, elk, bear with bows and arrows either


Who shoots bear?


Lots of people. Plus in some places bears are considered a nuisance animal. Bear tags aren't expensive here in the commonwealth


There are other ways to deter bears without a gun.


Like what, have a discussion on their bad behavior? Please, go up to one and give a try and report back to me how it goes...

Temporary at best. Bears have gotten used to people and encroachments are getting worse

When the criminals have a shotgun pointed at you or your wife, a stun gun ain't gonna do shit


Neither will a properly stowed weapon, unless the criminal texted you in advance that he was coming, giving you plenty of time to unlock your gun safe, retrieve the ammunition you store elsewhere, load the gun and return to your wife's side poised to defend.
