As an example, my neighbor. He was a police officer that was plowed by a truck while on a bike and is disabled and retired, with a brain injury that gives him the mentality of an 8 year old with anger management issues. He's on massive doses of pain pills, antidepressants, and Xanax - were he to stop getting his meds he would die from benzo withdrawal. He's also a friend of the family hating tea party patriot and is infatuated with guns, and his retired status gets him a ccw with basically no paperwork. He's voting for trump.

That right there is the embodiment of people that don't want registries, and don't want more restrictions on gun ownership.

Fair enough. I'd agree that they're anti-'any government that represents any interest other than my own,' which is to say anti-democratic.

Exactly. He's also all about getting rid of social programs like welfare, but enjoys the benefits of having a daughter with 3 kids that lives at home and is on welfare. And of course there's the nice benefits he gets because of the deal that the police union brokered between the officers and the county.

Really, it's too bad the truck didn't finish the job. As he gets older he gets more and more unhinged; one day he's going to snap and just start shooting his caregivers.

Most gun-control advocates recognize the necessity or practicality of hunting. Most develop nations with gun-control regs allow sport usage of weapons, but require registration. But this last part makes it absolutely untenable for the Gun Lobby, and thus, it will never be so.

This is a true statement. My biggest issue with gun registration is less tinfoil hattery and more that it will just be some bogged down bullshit mess of a system that will be completely hosed up due to a mixture of incompetence, state-line issues, and deliberate sabotaging by anti-registry folk. Like it was for Canada.

I'd argue that its ok to make the ownership of deadly weapons more difficult. Even if its inconvenient for you.

Solid argument. Would you rather live a normal life and then one day get a bullet through the dome from 100 yards away or be born into slavery, raised in a cage, and force-fed foods and steroids to make you extra fat and muscly before having your throat slit, ending your sexless life?

Yep. And I am sure insurers and medical providers are gonna be more than willing to cover the in between and not make it a pain in the rear end for the individual.

Couldn't he do something like the sanctuary city idea and order state police agencies to take no action when they detect a violation of background checks (and other federal gun control laws). Not stopping the Feds from enforcing it, but not helping in any way.

I realize that in your fantasy world based on video games you always get the perfect shot, but in real hunting there's a lot of times where your first shot is just going to be something not immediately fatal, or even missing the animal entirely. This of course freaks them the gently caress out and is hardly more humane than easy instant destruction of the brain like at the slaughterhouse.

Also cows don't loving care about feed yards, they're stupid beasts.

I mean, they are all for a stringent process preventing voter fraud--something that is shown to be statistically insignificant and really just a lever for disenfranchisement.

Why are voter rights less sacred than gun rights to these people?

I'm cool with gun ownership if you want to be registered.
