NYT Opinion: Register All Guns, License All Gun Owners

Breitbart ^

[Red in Blue PA]

On February 24 New York Times op-ed contributors Abner Mikva and Lawrence Rosenthal argued that it is time to register all guns and license all gun owners; background checks are not enough.

Moreover, the authors suggested such licensing and registration would not violate the Second Amendment.

According to the NYT op-ed, background checks are not sufficient, there are too many ways to go around them. “A more effective system would require everyone who owns or acquires a gun to register it.” And a second component to this “effective system” would be a licensing requirement for all persons who wish to register guns.

The licensing requirement would allegedly force every would-be gun owner to prove he or she could “use a gun responsibly.” It would be like a background check that tries to guess the future.

Leftists never stop pushing.....which is why you never cede an inch to begin with.

Conservatives need to learn this lesson.

NO!

Dear NYT,

No.

New York has already proven that registration equals confiscation.

You have no excuse to register me to exercise my God given rights.

Now crawl back in your hole under that rock.

I am so sure that every criminal and every illegal that has a gun will jump to it and hurry down to register...

I would think about a license if it meant one upfront background check and then after that i could purchase any firearm (semi or full auto), no mag size limit, suppressors, etc with no tax stamp requirement or additional background check, just show my license.

However, no registration of any kind.

How can people who think they are smarter than everyone else, be so plain out and out stupid?

[fhayek]

How about registering and licensing newspaper publishers?

[Pearls Before Swine]

So, if you catch a criminal with an unregistered gun, will there be an enhancement? Or would that be too strict, too racist?

[MeganC]

The NYT needs to license and register their computers, phones, and reporters.

...for the children.

And Mr. Johnny Cash says.....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But wait a minute. What about “sensible, common-sense” gun laws and nice readable gun signs?

[West Texas Chuck]

How about we just kick them in the goonads instead?

I’m good with that.

Does the Times have a solution for the problem that the top priority for our guns is to overthrow a fundamentally transforming government if necessary to preserve the Constitution? Or wait, maybe the Times wants a fundamental transformation that is opposed to the Constitution? I’m not a Times subscriber so excuse my unawareness on this issue.
