@pj @admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @thatguyoverthere @lmrocha well the classic counter example for a gun registry was Germany in the 1920s. They had a crime wave, and a gun registry was one thing they decided to do to fight it.
The next administration found other uses for the gun registry: disarming anyone they didn't like.
The UK had a complete gun registry and was able to confiscate all the legally held handguns in the country. Now look what the UK has turned into.
That's why we oppose it.

@mike805 @pj @freemo @thatguyoverthere @lmrocha So, this is it? You stand with your weapon, no social network whatsoever?
I'm happy i am not you. I can sleep. You cannot. Good night.

@admitsWrongIfProven @pj @freemo @thatguyoverthere @lmrocha in politics, as in war, there is the concept of defensible ground.
The minimal defensible ground for gun rights is the right to defend one's own home with deadly force.
Surrender that, and there is no defensible ground in the way of confiscation.
Example: the UK. They had long since given up the right to self-defense, but collectors could own pistols.
One long-time collector went homicidal. Result: total handgun confiscation.

@mike805 @pj @freemo @thatguyoverthere @lmrocha Umm, registering guns means knowing who has guns. Registering the religious afffiliation or similar would be a totally different thing.
And the thing needed seems more like "don't give everyone that is frightened a gun", like we have here... if you shoot in competitions, you have a need. If you want a shooty thing, maybe not?

Yes, a little bit of an agitated reaction from @admitsWrongIfProven but nothing so overblown or any major excalation as the two of you are presenting it.
And you may agree that a heavily armed person with unresolved issues and no social support or interactions is a very scarry proposition.

You obviously never heard of sarcasm. That's what I was using (in the context of the discussion) while "standing my ground" after your rather bullyish suggestion I should "move on".

In tbis case im refering to the fact that he is just trolling at this point. Earlier it wasnt bad faith... but also no important, he isnt doing anything wrong.

Why do you think it's a bad faith argument?
