register every gun

I'm sitting here watching PCNC news talking about having to register every gun you own. What's your opinion? Last time this came up I was against it and still am. I feel the government or anyone else has the right to know what I own. I understand the need to control who can carry what and where to extent but not what you own. When this first came up I stated that if it passed I would never buy another new gun and they would have to prove to me what I own.

Morning Local newspaper "Major survey shows gun ownership declining".........................Dateline: 03/10/2015
 
According to the survey 32% of Americans either own or live with someone who does (?) own a gun.  Survey says that's a significant decline since the late 70s and early 80s when half (?) Americans told researchers there was a gun in the household.
 
"The decline in gun ownership is paralleled by a reduction in the number of Americans who hunt" according to the survey.
 
The 'General Social Survey' is conducted by NORC a independent search organization based at the University of Chicago with money from the National Science Foundation.
 
I'm thinkin' there's a much better reason why the percentage of guns owned (reported) has dropped.  Also, does a person count as a 'gun owner' if they live with someone that has a gun and, what number is "half" the Americas (or living with) owning guns in the 80s?
 
Anyway, I conducted a survey under DTWBOBTWB (Dazzle Them With Brilliance or, Baffle Them With BullChyt) and the results were 100% of the 1 people surveyed think surveys are bogus.
 
Just my opinion..........  thanks for asking.

On my 1980 cenus form, there was a list of "optional" questions to answer. One question was...How many guns do you own? and another was...how many shells do you have for each weapon?....I answered...I have 1 gun and 5 million bullets. I have probably been on their "list" since then....WF....That was 35 years ago..none of their dang business 

r3g3 the average life span of a civilization(with few exceptions) is 250 years.  Your perception is very real.
 
 

I have to completely agree with your post! I'm sitting 1000 yds from where I was born.As kids we lived in the creek and woods, hunting,trapping and camping.We all carried knifes, bb guns and 22s.Fought 100s of Indians, defended ourselves from grizzly attacks and even fought among ourselves. Never even considered aiming a gun at another person.Only gun control we had was responsible parents who taught us right from wrong and other than that it was no ones business what guns we owned and in my mind its still that way. Electric goes off around now days half this town panics cause its dark.

All I want for Christmas before my time is up is to wake up in a world where the majority rules and there are no special interest minoritie to ruin it for everyone else

So you are willing to give up a type of firearm just because some nut used it to kill kids. Hang the gun and free the killer. Most types of firearms have been used to kill kids at one point or another in our history.  Knives have been used to kill kids. Hands, fists, and feet have been used to kill kids. The greatest mass murder in numbers of school children in our nations history did not even involve a gun. 
 
The only thing protecting our right to own any firearm is the Second Amendment and the folks willing to fight to protect it. 
 
The only thing outlawing a type of gun does is make it more expensive for those that want to get one. Just look at recent events overseas in the countries that don't allow their citizens to own them. They get mowed down like frightened sheep by the folks that ignored their laws. No Thanks!!
 
BTW----The NRA still has a more favorable rating than the president who is trying to take our guns so most folks see through his rhetoric.
