Gun registries only exist to support eventual confiscation via further erosion of 2A rights, such as red flag laws, assault weapons bans, and other restrictions on ownership.

So we can have separate state registries of: residents, voters, drivers, students, people on disability, people who are unemployed, among others, but gun owners would be too much?

> residents

social security is for determining who to pay and who not to pay.

> voters

voter registration is to determine who can and cannot vote

> drivers

driver registration is for determining who can and cannot drive

> students

is this even true?

> people on disability, people who are unemployed

again, for determining who to give money to (people are free not to file). those are voluntary

> but gun owners would be too much

to what end? it seems like the purpose of all of those other registries is to know who they should take away benefit of the program from.

[peter422]

To determine who can and cannot concealed carry a gun.

Why does a driver and car need to go on a registry? You just said that was ok.

[Ekaros]

Why should there be any need to determine who can concealed carry? It should be inalienable right afforded to anyone, but those currently at the moment incarcerated.

[peter422]

I assume “anybody” includes people with 0 hours of gun training, convicted felons, children, non-residents, non-citizens and those with serious mental illnesses?

A right is a right!

[Ekaros]

Exactly. Only reasonable limitation I see is those currently incarcerated. Even those on probation should have the right.

[hackyhacky]

Is that true in Switzerland as well? Seems that there they have a lot of guns and a lot of regulation, and so far no mass confiscation.
