I’m kind of surprised that news stories haven’t been using the term “unregistered” to refer to legally-owned firearms in the states where registration of those guns isn’t required. It’s coming, no doubt.
Would be the opposite of “illegally registered” I suppose.....
I remember the bumper stickers that said, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
The Media-Dem Party continues with its obsession with 1984 but has now incorporated Fahrenheit 451 into its playlist. I picture bumper stickers “If you can read this bumper sticker, you’re a racist” or “When books are outlawed, only outlaws will have books”. It’s coming. They’ve already declared math to be racist, being on time to be racist, science is racist, reading is next on their list.
only cursive can save us now.
Oh... you mean like illegal immigrants?
Can we require that they be legally registered before coming here?
I like how the press, when someone saves their own life using a firearm, immediately starts worrying about whether the gun was “legally carried”. When a person is in a life threatening situation whether or not he has a piece of paper saying he can carry a gun is a pretty minor point.
The media knows that there is no requirement to register in most areas, but it keeps saying “legally registered” to condition us for the laws that they favor and want to see implemented.
Is that like a legally registered writer?
It’s used to discredit those who aren’t “legally registered “ as if those who own those guns are some kind of criminals and have nefarious motives.
Democrats oppose legal registration of immigrants or voters.
On every cop show in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the ‘bad gun’ was always a .38 snubby, and it was always ‘registered’ to someone.

Illinois registers gun owners.
Not that it does a damned thing to stop the slaughter in Chicago.

Hi.
In the fwiw department, I own no “legally,” or “illegally,” “registered,” firearms.
So, does that mean I had a boating accident?
No.

See, liberals live primarily in States that do require gun registration so they think all States do that. However, most States do not have registrations.
Leftists always redefine terms to control the narrative.
e.g. “family planning” “right to choose” “gay”
Now here we see anther example in the early stage.
The term must be countered, as this article does, early and strong.
Once they take all the guns will they go after pressure cookers next?.
A law passed out of Cuomo's closet, that was passed by the NY State Democratic House, the "New York Safe Act"
without even having been read by the House.
That outcome came from a trusting, micro-managed Democratic House,
who was instructed to vote for it by the Democratic Party leadership, without reading it.
The next day it went before the Republican controlled State Senate, who were instructed to vote on it, without a reading.
The Republican controlled State Senate balked at passing it, since it had only been given to them just minutes before.
It turned out to be a gun control "wet dream', and several issues were rejected, before it passed (the proposed legislation called for gun CONFISCATION !).
Specifically : (unconstitutional) gun confiscation without owner remunification; or, gun grabbing without payment to the lawful owner.
Two weeks later, this same legislation needed revision, since it also forbade law enforcement officers to carry firearms while on duty.
This is what happens when you passe legislation without reading it! (ie.: Obama Health Care, similar to HR #1 proposed by the Dims and Nazzi Piglousey)
Take the red pill !
It came from television police shows for decades, as did several other terms in common use now.
Makes about as much sense as “fully semiautomatic”. See my tagline
