When next someone proposes a gun registry, it should be countered with the idea of a “common sense” government employee registry.
Similar in concept to the sex offender registry, it should be easy for someone to go online to discover if government employees, employed by which government agencies, live in their neighborhood.
Only a very few government police and intelligence employees should be exempt from being registered.
The parallels between such registries are amusing. For instance, should government employees be allowed to live within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, liquor stores, or adult clubs?
Should government employees be required to undergo background checks, and banned from government employment if they are discovered to be “mental defectives”, the label used to deny veterans guns?
Should it be left up to their Sheriff to decide if they “may work” for the federal government? And even if they are approved for work, to make them wait 60-90 days for their “license” to work?
Of course, any government employee involved in a domestic dispute should automatically lose their job.

Yes. Awesome!
