The title says it all.

Gun registration makes tracing guns easier, promotes accountability and deters illegal sales and straw purchasing, all of which is effective in regulating existing guns in circulation. So without registration, it's hard to tell if the guns used in crimes are illegal or stolen.

So far, only Hawaii has it and it's mind-boggling why other states don't follow suit.

I'm not going to link it here. Sorry. And I really don't want to share the details because they're pretty awful. But suffice it to say, what this guy with some of his friends did to a cat is some Ted Bundy level shit. It's almost worse because he did it with other people.

So go find the story and read it if you want to be disgusted. I heard about it on The Bulwark and thought it was worth sharing also thought the details were too disturbing to share with somebody who just might be casually reading.

A man was recently arrested on gun charges during a rally for former President Donald Trump in California. This article goes into the details of the incident and raises questions about security at political events.
With the ongoing debate surrounding gun laws, how do you think incidents like this should be handled? Should there be stricter measures in place at rallies and public events to prevent weapons from being brought in? Would this incident prompt further discussions on gun control during the 2024 election?

JD Vance assembled some serious strawmen in that debate worst of which were thicker doors.

Hello everyone, with the election going on and lots of tension between everyone going on I got to thinking. Now please everyone explain to me what the complete end goal is with stricter gun laws or completely banning guns? Is it to save as many lives as possible? Is it to cut down on crime? Is it to make public schools safer? Personally I really don’t have a stance on the matter either way. I don’t have much information to go off of except for what I have seen. Please let me know your goals and visions of a better country moving forward.

Y'know the argument, "Guns are just tools. Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

I've gotten into many "debates" with people and they always end up firmly sitting on this one point and disregard any evidence I may provide.

How should I go about countering/unpacking this? I know it's a bad-faith argument with a fallacy but I can't put my finger on it...

Y'all talking about 2a and banning "assault rifles." I don't get it. We already got laws. Just expand the definition of a NFA firearm a tiny tiny bit.

26 U.S.C. § 5812, 5822; 27 CFR § 479.62-66, 479.84-86 An individual who is not prohibited by federal, state or local law from receiving or possessing firearms may lawfully obtain an NFA firearm in one of two ways:

An approved transfer of a registered NFA firearm from its lawful owner, which requires ATF Form 4, Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of a Firearm; or, An approved making of an NFA firearm, which requires ATF Form 1, Application to Make and Register a Firearm. []
