How is it possible to have any sensible laws at all concerning the distribution/ownership/use of guns if it is not compulsory to register/licence them? This is step one of any logical gun safety programme.
My guns are all registered. I have to do a federal background check to purchase a firearm. That's not the same as 'requiring a federal license'. I don't like the sounds of that prickly bitch. I'm guessing that targets poor people with a 500 dollar license of some sort and a whole fuck-ton of bullshit paperwork.
I have to wait six-twelve months to get my medicare back from the feds because of a payment snafu. The feds don't accept debit or credit cards. Only paper checks or a form that you fill out to use a card account. Guess what? That was precisely the payment snafu. I did the form and they fucking lost it.
It took me twelve months to get a payment plan with the irs.
Silencers require an inexplicable 200 or so, dollar federal stamp.
Trump is the president! FFS!! I would have to prove ethnicity and religious affiliation to boot. Atheists wouldn't get a gun.
