there is no such thing as a mandatory gun registration I can just not register and that's my choice. And the enforcement thereof afterward is nearly impossible.Handgun registration (licensing, to use the specific term) is mandatory. Not voluntary.
how can they require you to register it what are they going to do with you don't? do they have a magical assault weapon detection system?California also has some mandatory registration and other restrictions. E.g. you can't purchase assault rifles in CA; if you purchased one before the law kicked in, you were required to register it.
they don't need to pull you over to check your registration you do not drive your car 24/7 all they really need to do is look at your license plate. That can happen in a parking lot in your driveway or if you park on the street.Police actually need a reason to pull you over, and stickers can easily be faked. So why would anyone bother to actually register their car?
explain how that follows.By that logic, cars are not designed to transport people, they are designed to wear down tires and consume windshield wiper fluid.
anytime I've ever sold a gun to another person it was to someone whom I worked with and in that industry you had to be 21 in order to work there so I was okay in my assumption of their age. I do not check criminal background so I'm not an employer and I'm not a police officer.Oh, really? So when you sell a private firearm to someone, do you check their age and their criminal record?
it's not my business if they can legally purchase a firearm they know they can or can't if they purchase it from me they've broken the law not me.Because you made it pretty clear that you don't care at all. You don't even seem to want access to a system that lets you check if they can legally purchase a firearm.
I never participated on Facebook so no they don't even know I exist. Giving away information to me always seemed stupid. As far as Google goes they might know I have a gun or some guns but they don't know which guns how many serial numbers what caliber is there in how I acquired them or whether or not I sold them.Plus, the idea that databases can't possibly be expanded to include people who are barred from legal firearm purchases is laughable. I mean, really. You don't think that Google and Facebook already know that you own guns?
So no I don't think they know s***
Again how does that follow?By that logic, we should legalize all drugs, all prostitution, all child pornography, sales of alcohol to minors, all sales of stolen goods and so on because those laws can't possibly be enforced with 100% effectiveness.
if you apply stupid and absurd nonsense to my logic but you have to show me how it follows otherwise you're just barking because you've been owned.
