It is amazingly hypocritical and the counter argument will be, "golly gee though, huk huk huk... it is a right". No it isn't. It is just what a few guys wrote down 250 years ago. Speech is a Right. Religion (believing what you want) is a Right. Reporting on things and the government is a right. Owning a weapon designed to kill people is not a Right.

I adamantly oppose driving licenses, car registrations, or any thing else of that nature.

If you really believe you can walk into a store and walk out with a gun, or that the gun you buy won't in fact be registered then you're an ignoramus.

Our Rights actually exists outside of the Constitution, the document merely delineates that the federal government may not oppress them. That means that the right to self defense and ownership of the means to do so are in fact....rights, regardless of what any government might say. They may repress but they do not revoke.

In short, you wrote 3 lines of complete and utter bull [BLEEP].

I give you an F- for knowledge and a zero for effort.

I do think that it should be illegal to sell someone a gun without doing background checks on them.  Things will slip through the cracks, and guns will show up that we have no idea who sold to whom, but that's just how it is sometimes.

I do think there should be a tax on ammo. If you want to shoot it at the range you bought it at, no tax.  Take it home, that should be taxed. Maybe a 50% tax.

We should also think about restricting more gun types.  Currently there are restrictions on full auto and on shotgun barrel length. I think we need a few more restrictions, maybe based on reload speed and gun mass.

[BLEEP] outta here wiht that nonsense. When you buy a gun you fill out forms, supply ID, and they record both your ID and the gun's serial number. They are de facto registered. It's why when you sell a gun to someone privately you damn well better collect that same info, because if that gun shows up in a crime you then the cops are coming to you to find out why.

And no, the People should have access to the same weapons as the military, so we need looser or no restrictions, not more.
