If it is ever credibly demonstrated that the inconvenience in gun registration would directly exacerbate rates of gun violence by disarming victims that would otherwise be armed if not for the inconvenience of firearm registry, I'll graciously concede the point.

That may very well be the case. But assuming exorbitant gun crime is attributable entirely or primarily due to population density, wouldn't it stand to reason that nations more population dense than the US also have inordinately high rates of gun violence? To clarify: I think that our...

In 2019 alone, the US has had more than 250+ mass shootings That is a disproportionate amount of injury and fatality. The fact that the shooters themselves comprise a relative minority of the population is irrelevant. Offenders don't need to comprise 30% of the population for their crimes to...

I think the USA, generally speaking, has a cultural problem that has manifested itself in the form of an inordinate number of firearm related crimes, including mass shootings. [qupte]I have no conceptual objection to universal background checks, it's basically already the law outside of...

I'll concede that, but regard it as a relatively impotent distinction. My point is that the state finds cars dangerous enough to evaluate and license your right to operate one even though the harm they cause to others is, however frequent, ancillaryunrelated to their intended purpose as a mode...
