How about this? A national registry where there must be a warrant issued by court before law-enforcement can go in and look at the registry. And the warrant would only allow them to look at specific people that are under investigation. I know the FISA court stuff was abused but this may could work. How does that sound?
So it would only be looked at for a specific serial number of a gun that has been involved in a crime? That sounds good. As long as there are safeties in place that we keep it from being misused.
Thats one time, if we had a charlottesville every week then or every other month then you would see it. I don't under why we can't stay on the topic though
He was not necessarily either. He was born in Syria and was brought to the US at the age of 3, according to the reports I read. That doesn't make him a Muslim, and even if he were, neither of those two make him terrorist. The police are still investigating the motive, so this just comes off as good old xenophobia.
I just fail to see how a national registry = less murders when unmarked guns can easily be purchased on the street if you know who to talk to.
It would only hold gun owners accountable if the illegally sold their guns I guess
I understand your point but in the situations you mentioned, the companies involved can control that. I can't buy a plane. I can buy tide pods. Tide can quit producing pods.
There is a real registry. When you buy a gun you either have to show your CWP or driver's license. That goes directly to SLED and you are now submitted into a registry. What kind of "real" registry are you talking about? What part of SSN, address, DL#, your age, your height, your weight and if you have a police record. If you have a police record you get no gun. I'd like to know your definition of a "real registry".
Then why care about the FBI watchlist? If you aren’t going to use it as a disqualifier why does it matter? All you’ve managed to establish is that all of these people who apparently had legitimate reasons to no be allowed to buy a gun were allowed to anyway.
It is really nobodies business who
That is simply a step in government control and would have no effect on murder rates. Bad guys don’t register illegal guns.
His social media indicates he was a Muslim according to news accounts of it I've read. I'm not saying anything about the terrorist tag just yet.
Strong candidate for SPOTY.
Studies have shown that each year over 2k guns are sold to individuals on watch lists. Since just being on the watch list doesn’t disqualify you from purchasing a firearm all the FBI can do is flag the record for review of increased surveillance or monitoring. Unless you are going to support additional questioning or interviews with field agents prior to the approval then it is kind of meaningless. I for one would fully support this occurring but I also feel fairly sure people would oppose having someone questioned because they are on a watchlist.
Ive seen Frank Luntz having a discussion with a large group of NRA members . There are gun control policies that they mentioned they would love to see go into effect. It's only political when the ppl who are paid by the NRA and other gun advocate groups take up the argument.
I had a friend who had SLED show up asking about a gun/serial number that he had sold years before. They were not aware it had been sold. From that I assume the paperwork you fill out is not shredded and record is kept somewhere within SLED. Not sure how all the dots were connected for them to know he was the original purchaser.
Which is the ulterior motive of all gun control proponents. That is why we won’t give an inch.
One of the issues is people can end up on the watch list for having the same name as the intended individual.
