Well I am not about to argue for trusting government. I trust corporations a hell of a lot less. Though the abortion thing is tangential and I don't want to argue about it.

I have no issue with firearms being kept in records. Sorry, but we have to license all kinds of things as long as we have or do them, like driving a car, practicing law or medicine; if I had my way there would be no national right to own firearms, that is supremely ridiculous, permits should only be granted on demonstration of need e.g. living in a high crime neighborhood or running a jewelry store. And, no, "I enjoy killing animals" is not a need.

History: Hitler made guns more available, not less, as the RKBAs claim. Right now parents are biting their knuckles because their kids are in school and some disgruntled kid could kill them. The RKBA answer is yet more guns.

The idea that an armed citizenry would inhibit tyranny is a fantasy. A hell of a lot of gun owners would side with the tyrant enthusiastically, liberated to shoot people like me. And those who would resist think they can go up against the US military and prevail? Really?

I don't see the media (plural: ARE) promoting disarmament. Unless you want them to be silent about the more than daily mass shootings.

All I hear is raising the age to buy a massacre weapon to 21.

I grew up in the south. I heard a lot of gun nuts. I had debates in steam rooms with guys who swore they were going to kill me in the parking lot. I'm sick of guns.
