Having to register something you can cause grievous harm with? I am going to drive my car right over there and protest this!
I wouldn’t trust the US govt with that information. I wouldn’t trust the US police with that information.
They know what you drive and that you have a license for it.
The app you order potstickers from the restaurant across town knows more about you than your wife does.
Why do you care so much that your govt knows you have a gun? They can drone strike you before you even think of grabbing your desert eagle from your bedside table.
I don’t own any guns, but I have a 2A right to a gun. I have no right to a car. If registration costs a single penny, this will be illegal for the same reason poll taxes are.
they can imprison me or other wise deprive me of my freedom. i don’t believe in rights, but the Constitution purports a right to bear arms without infringement. my freedoms aren’t up for negotiation or judgement.
They are absolutely up for judgement.
come and take them

big strong tough guy but words hurt your feelings? lol
Lol
Are you part of a well regulated militia?
It seems like the militia was a pretty important part of the amendment since it was the first part of the sentence.
Unfortunately we cannot travel back in time to see if the founders of your country meant for a well regulated militia to be not infringed upon and through that regulated militia a person may have the right to bear arms.
as I said, I don’t believe in rights.
Then you don’t believe you have a right to bear arms.
this is probably gonna shock you, but i don’t either.
Headline for January 1st: “Illinois plagued by spate of freak boating accidents”
Sudden influx of “boating accidents” where weapons are “lost overboard”.
Yeah. They’ll do that. Lol
