Do you see how gun registration would prevent things like this? Let me explain. Let's say every gun legally bought had to be registered to a licensed gun owners. After three months and every year thereafter he'd have to renew the registration by presenting the gun and documents to the local police of a FFL dealer. Punishment for non-compliance would be swift and severe, the first part of which would be permanent loss of gun rights.British police believe Steven Greenoe, 37, a former US Marine who lives in Shrewsbury, bought the weapons including Glock 9mm pistols, legally in gun shops in North Carolina and then put them in his hold luggage.
The alleged smuggling operation was discovered after weapons seized from criminals in the North West of England were traced back to America. One of them was found to have been used in a drive-by shooting in Manchester.
Mr Greenoe was stopped at an airport in Raleigh, North Carolina in July as he attempted to board a flight to Manchester via New York. He had 16 weapons and ammunition magazines in his luggage.
What do you think? Wouldn't that help the problem of gun flow from the lawful gun-owning world into the criminal black market?

ReplyDeleteNo, because criminals don't register their guns.
MikeB: “Do you see how gun registration would prevent things like this?”
ReplyDeleteYeah, just like how our existing laws using tracing caught him with no chance of me being swiftly and severely punished for doing nothing wrong.
So if I register all of my guns you are saying it will stop criminals from breaking those laws in a foreign country that already has registration? Here we have more gun control FAIL. And they are even on an island.
ReplyDeleteNo, FWM, this is the failure of the weak gun control laws in the States. You yourself could do whatever you want with your guns, even pass them along to the bad guys. We shouldn't have to rely on your honor to know that you're not doing that. It's unfortunate, but there are too many gun owners who are not honorable enough for that. They need to be constrained by law.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the retarded laws of a foreign nation even our concern?
ReplyDeleteObviously the firearms were legal to own here. Because some foreign tyrannical government hates freedom and turns legal products into illegal ones is their problem, not ours.
So if Pakistan bans the Bible, then we should too just to make sure someone doesn't carry it into Pakistan?
You always have an excuse when gun control fails and that is to blame someone else that was smart enough not to have a failing law.
Oh, if only it wasn't for Indiana, Chicago gun laws would work.
Oh, if only it wasn't for Virginia, then New York gun laws would work.
Oh, if only it wasn't for Arizona, then Mexican gun laws would work.
Of, if only it wasn't for North Carolina, English gun laws would work.
What is next?

The point I'm trying to make is those leagally bought and owned guns should not have been free to be disposed of like that. HERE, in the U.S. we need gun registration so that every gun bought is the responsibility of a particular licensed gun owner.
No more gun control. PERIOD. Gun ownership should be free and open. Guns, even in the hands of criminals, are a far lesser evil than gun control.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with Europe is they have never tasted freedon.
Is this yet another anonymous fanatic, or one of the regulars?
ReplyDelete"PERIOD" huh? What about all the "infringements" you already lay down for? Don't you want to do something about that, big boy with a gun?
