Because I don't think it's realistically possible to register them otherwise. Why do you think we have VIN's? Of course registration on vehicles is much easier to enforce. And woe is you if you don't have the third item an officer asks for!! Edited July 7, 2020 by Estil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And woe is you if you don't have the third item an officer asks for!! I feel like you already know the answer to your question. My favorite part of this debate is it's typically white people who are opposed to having their information on a database in the event their gun is used to committ a crime . USA USA USA!

Estil | 1,265 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Why are you needlessly making it a race issue? You know it's quite often someone actually has me in some agreement...but then they lost me when they unnecessarily (for the most part) make it a race issue. You know how all our English teachers taught us, to not use commas, that aren't necessary? Well don't make an issue a race issue when it's not necessary.

Pretty much everyone in Montana does. https://kmhk.com/new-study-says-montana-has-more-guns-than-some-countries/ Guess what sorta gun laws we have for purchasing. One guess. Because there are none.

Totally ridiculous. The problem is how do you make a good effective law...especially when firearms don't have mandatory serial numbers? BTW, what's it like living in such a lonely state? Fun fact: DYK that Montana is about the same size as the UK? And that England is about the size of my neighboring state of Indiana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,548 Editorials Team · Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Mandatory background checks? Any sort of mental illness screening? Anything at all? And I couldn't tell you anything about "loneliness." I've lived my entire life in the two college towns which are 50,000 and 70,000 plus. Hardly podunk.

You know how all our English teachers taught us, to not use commas, that aren't necessary? Well don't make an issue a race issue when it's not necessary. It's not needless when it is applicable. I would absolutely have said black people if that was the case. Also I'm not worried if I lost you, I've followed this thread for the entertainment the past few weeks and it's funny how just mentioning white people causes you to react. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know for once we might have some agreement...would you agree that in most cases it's a better idea to better enforce existing laws rather than making new ones that might be unnecessary and/or redundant? For example... BTW, Ainsley, you chicks not only have the 14th amendment but don't forget the 19th (happy 100!!), 23th (DC women get POTUS vote) and 26th (all 18-20 year old women)...just for good measure.

Plus Doctor Nick is being sarcastic. Facts are facts, no “ checking” required. Fox news’s highest rated show is Tucker Carlsons OPINION SHOW .who is an unabashed racist and insults veterans. Its simply Un-american No wonder they are hemmoraging sponsors. Fox news is Simply Trumpster fire facist propaganda, designed to suck Ad money from easy to control people (or “sheep”) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
