Just tattoo the barcode on your wrist of the back of your neck? Of course, applied by a govt tattoo arteest. That would satisfy the requirements of the 2nd amendme.......... Oh!?

The NICS system in place now works well. It isn’t the issue. The issue is that the leftards want to prohibit private sales altogether. EVERY firearm transaction would have to be conducted with the prescribed registration and attendant paper trail. That is, until they gin up the necessary support for an outright ban.

The existing system works if the government would simply prosecute people who try buying a gun when they legally cannot—illegal aliens, court barred, drug users, etc.

Ok - read this very carefully.

it is NOT CONFIDENTIAL if you send your ID to the government - they’ll log the transaction and when they come for your guns they’ll go to your house because they have the record of it.

I hate to sound cold but as with many freedoms, there will be casualties along the way. Heartbreaking but true.

DUIs and DWIs cause FAR more deaths than mass murders each year but even stopping the sale of all alcohol legally won’t stop drinking and the resulting DWIs and DUIs.

You start giving up freedom for a little more safety and it’s a slippery slope.

Many Amish don’t have photos taken. Ever. Where do they fall in this plan?

So anybody that I can get their 9 digit zip and a picture of I can find out if they’re prohibited. Nope, not more secure at all. You’re really good at coming up with really bad ideas. Every weekend it seems. I look forward to them, belly laughs are good for the health.

How about this process—

Buyer gives money or trade.
Seller gives gun and receipt.

So you support gun registration. No.

Why can’t they pass a law that bans collecting the names of people who are allowed to own guns. The only list they should check is the list of those who lost their rights, such as violent ex-cons. Not on that list, you are free to buy. I’m assuming they save every request so they have a de-facto list of gun owners. That pisses me off.

Does someone*/anyone really need a 600+ horsepower mustang? Just think of the lives saved if it was restricted to just 50 horsepower. And 8 cylinders? Don’t get me started. Aren’t there some limits in the car amendment? Whichever one that is. :-)

*Me, yes please.

“Ummm, no it isn’t.”

The ATF now gets
Last Name (Including suffix (e.g., Jr, Sr, II, III))
First Name
Middle Name
Current State of Residence and Address

Under my proposal the ATF would get 55555. Yup, the five-digit zip code of thousands of different people.

Yes, the DHS will get your name and address, along with the ID information of job seekers, and alcohol/tobacco buyers.

A proxy server or disposal smartphone can quite effectively shield the gun seller’s identity.

LOL

As strongly as people who own a lot of guns feel about the govt trying to take them away, the govt would have to pry my COLD DEAD HANDS off of my Dodge Challenger steering wheel before I’d let them take it.
