The Fallacy of Gun Registry and Confiscation

[SecularMotion]

The latest NRA argument against legislation on comprehensive and enforceable background checks is that they would create a national gun registry the government would eventually use to take everyone's guns away.

This idea is completely unfounded and utterly false.

Its just the latest scare tactic the gun lobby is using to keep political leaders from supporting commonsense gun reforms that are proven to prevent gun violence.

Nothing about expanded background checks would create a national gun registry. Multiple pieces of federal law expressly prohibit the creation of a government gun registry, and nothing about the current background check proposals would alter or amend those provisions.

1. That's too bad...a registry would help ensure the universal background checks

are getting done, and provide another means to charge those willing to break the law & to get illegal guns off the streets.

2. Why shouldn't there be a gun registry? nt

3. Fear tactics work for the righties!

"They'll come with black helicopters and git yer guns after you register 'em! "

Sad ..... but it WORKS on the simple minded and paranoid! Has in the past...... will in the future!

4. We register our cars and no one fears the government will take their cars.

This paranoid bullshit has to stop. It is literally killing us.
