Trump Opens Door to National Gun Registry with Proposed Gun Controls
Brietbart ^ | 22 Feb 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/22/2018 1:06:43 PM PST by skimbell

"...Although there is a lack of clarity on what Trump means by “comprehensive background checks,” as to whether he is referencing an overhaul of our current system or is pushing the universal background checks lauded by Democrats, it is important to note that this represents a turning point which opens the door to a national gun registry.

This is so because universal background checks are not enforceable without a gun registry.

Govt doesn’t need to know SQUAT about anyone re: exercising our (2nd A.) Rights, let alone ‘permission’, tracking.

Federalism, turned on its head.

Them sons-a-bitches can’t even keep track of those here on Visa for God’s sake!

How many times does it have to be recommended that you read an article before you comment on that article.

Hoping and waiting to see this is simply a negotiation tactic... Look Trump isn’t a conservative, never has been, but on this subject I’m non-negotiable in terms of support.

California has defacto gun registration
No face to face sales.

And how’s THAT working out in the criminal class?

How does CA even *enforce* it? (HINT: It can’t)

How about a 5th amendment registry? You have to register in advance what crimes you can use your 5th amendment rights on, in case you get charged at some point.

I didn’t vote for Candidate Trump because I was concerned that he was too much of a New England liberal. For the first year of President Trump’s term, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Now my original fears are returning.

This exactly what needs to be done and the tweak is fairly simple and require some technical and paperwork modifications.

Make a National Register and your gun is legal in every state. Which is the way it should be.

Sorry, but my copy of the second amendment says otherwise. Remember "shall not be infringed"? It's none of government's business if I own or carry weapons or what kind they are. If I misuse them I should be punished for the misuse; otherwise I should be left alone.

I'm not sure how you came up with this thing being voluntary but I sure didn't read it that way.

A voluntary registry is no registry.

Here's what you're looking at...

"...In other words, government officials cannot know that gun sales are being universally monitored unless they know the name of every gun owner and have identifying information about every gun possessed by those owners..."

Your fears are also being fed by fake news and misrepresentation.

The spike in boating accidents will be unprecedented. America’s waterways will look like the bottom of Truk lagoon.

Ask New Hampshire how that gun registry worked out. I will never register a gun for any reason and neither will most Americans.

If Trump goes with a gun registry which I can’t believe he would he’s a one termer.

No not at all

Breitbart is still Breitbart. Note they start by saying they don’t know what Trump has in mind but the author goes ahead and tells us what it all means

Gun registration is the final step to gun confiscation.

Two weeks ago we were warning these adolescents not to eat Tide pods. Now they are dictating Constitutional powers.

"Let me get this straight: It's unclear what Mr. Trump meant by his statement, but you know he has opened the door to a national gun registry... I'm not sure I see the logic in that conclusion."

This genius went straight from comprehensive background checks to universal background checks in the same sentence.
