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.

And there you have it. Anonymous internet poster accuses 2nd anonymous internet poster of being a bad parent because the 1st internet poster thinks he can teach a 3-year old that a gun is not a toy. Good luck with that.

Or...like a responsible parent, keep dangerous objects away from your kid.
Once again, sorry not sorry I'm a better parent and my kids are smarter than your kids.

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.

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 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?

Serious question: if you really want to keep your gun/s, why do you find the idea of letting everyone know you have a gun offensive? Or putting licensing requirements in place to ensure you're a responsible gun owner?
