    That’s a huge risk for robbery and basically just asking for trouble. Shit tier idea to make that public knowledge tbh. Criminal doesn’t have a gun? Good thing they can just find someone that does. Already have one? Then they rob someone with 30 and put the guns onto the black market (still registered to the previous owner.)

      Aren’t you forgetting something? Every gun owner is a super cool action hero and if anyone tries to break into their house they’ll be all “blam blam blam” and they’ll be able to turn on their wives again.

        I forgot the answer to argument is a snarky remark.

          The answer has been given over and over again but it doesn’t meet the pro-gun communities deliberately impossible standards. Why bother answering it yet again?

            Frankly the answer is “make the cops do their fucking jobs” not “make a list of gun purchasers public.Public means that you or I could access the list, what the hell do you plan to do with this list? Tell the FBI “hey that list you maintain has a new entry, as you know, because you’re the ones keeping the list?” Do you have jurisdiction anywhere on the entire planet? The literal only reason to make it public is to have a handy list of what houses it’s safe to break into when occupied vs when unoccupied. It’s basically a treasure map to arm criminals.

              What made you think I cared? I’ve never advocated making gun owners public knowledge, I’m just laughing because gun owners insist their guns can keep them safe from criminals but shrivel up at the idea of those criminals knowing where they live and targeting them specifically.

              As always with the pro-gun community, consequences are other people.

                Ya mama said you did.

                Are you really dumb enough that you can’t see how regardless of a gun owner’s ability to defend themselves while they are home, they also don’t want people targeting their house for theft while they aren’t home based on a “has gun” list? Do you want stolen guns to end up in the hands of criminals? You think they have some magical ability to shoot people while they aren’t at the location of the theft or something? This isn’t fallout with grenade bouquets lmao.

                As always with the pro-gun community, consequences are other people.

                The consequences are the people’s who commit the crime, not the gun owning populace as a whole who has not? Yes.

                  You really need to get your feelings out about this don’t you? The world must no your opinion, even the people who aren’t actually advocating it.

                  Anyway, your feelings are bullshit. The pro-gun community routinely opposes safe storage laws and are happy to leave guns in glove compartments and closets. Not that the black market is required to arm criminals, given how easy it is to pass a background check, straw purchase or buy privately but again, the pro-gun community opposes reforms to combat all of that.

                  So whatever the fuck “The consequences are the people’s who commit the crime, not the gun owning populace as a whole who has not? Yes” is supposed to mean, it’s clear that you’re only upset that you would be in danger, since you put other people in danger all the time.

                    Safe storage penalizes victims for being stolen from and is a tax to stop those dirty poors from having guns, glove compartments are necessary sometimes to follow the laws regarding where you can and can’t carry which is the fault of the business and government that is forcing it, not the one forced to.

                    Not that the black market is required to arm criminals

                    Well it is if they’ve been charged with something.

                    given how easy it is to pass a background check,

                    Oh so “no criminal record,” shocker.

                    straw purchase

                    Illegal.

                    or buy privately

                    Illegal if you’re a prohibited possessor.

                    And even with all that, publishing a list is still stupid. I put nobody in danger, you’re projecting, it’s your stupid ideas on guns that endanger people, and not even gun owners but the people who will be harmed with their stolen guns. You don’t give a shit though because if they die it “owns the republitards” so it’s actually a win for you, I know.
