    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.

        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.

                    Safe storage penalizes victims for being stolen from

                    Good. If you didn’t take reasonable steps to secure your firearms, your negligence armed criminals. Guns are already an exception to “dangerous things must be properly secured” thanks to crybaby gun owners.

                    Oh and don’t waste your breath with a “B-B-B-But LockPickingLawyer opened this gun safe with his flaccid cock” because that’s not even close to an insurmountable problem.

                    a tax to stop those dirty poors from having guns

                    You’re using poor people as a human shield. You’ve never advocated giving people guns as a form of welfare and realistically a gun is one of the last things those “dirty poors” need.

                    You’re a simp for a multi-billion industry that funds the very worst Republicans and puts profits before lives. You don’t have a leg to stand on.

                    glove compartments are necessary

                    Sounds like we know where you leave your gun. It’s grossly negligent and absolutely your fault. Either leave your gun at home (where I’m guessing it’s just as poorly secured) or don’t go to places that don’t want you.

                    Well it is if they’ve been charged with something. Oh so “no criminal record,” shocker Illegal

                    Laws that are a complete failure, which the pro-gun community opposes all changes to, including better enforcement.

                    Illegal if you’re a prohibited possessor

                    Consequences for other people. The “responsible gun owner” making the private sale gets away with selling a gun to a dangerous person. If we only charged underage people for buying alcohol (and not the person who supplied them), there would be zero expectation of those laws working.

                    And even with all that, publishing a list is still stupid

                    Yet again, not actually a thing I advocated, just something I mocked your reaction to. Let’s hope for your families sake you’re not so easily confused when you hear a bump in the night.

                    I put nobody in danger

                    Another worthless promise from a gun owner. Whatever minimal vetting you’ve been through is demonstrably not enough to ensure gun owners aren’t a danger. You cleared the same low bar as the people shooting at children who rang their doorbell or used their driveway to turn around.

                    If we reduce you to a statistic, it’s even more bullshitty. Every person in your household is at a greater risk of domestic homicide and suicide.

                    it’s your stupid ideas on guns

                    Are you still throwing a tantrum about an idea I didn’t suggest or supoort, or are you just assuming all of my opinions based on what the gun lobby have told you I believe?

                    Your laws have failed America. It’s 20 years past when “responsible gun owners” should have actually taken some responsibility.
