    I would expect a database of gunowner with serial numbers and for each weapon a ballistics profile.

    Makes sense. There is a database of people with permits to operate and all ownerships including VIN of vehicles… that’s not weird either.

      I’m an outspoken liberal. I have lots of guns. Lots. I do not want a Trump administration putting those two things together.

      And for you unarmed libs, you really want to be tagged “harmless” in a federal database? You’ll be the first on the trains.

      The NRA specifically lobbied to prohibit digital databasing of guns, gun owners, and gun sales. All gun traces are done by filing through paper copies of form 4473.

          correct, it’s needfully inefficient because people are opposed to an easily searchable database of gunowners

            No, gun owners are opposed to gun owner databases because then they might be held accountable for their reckless and/or antisocial attitude towards their weapons.
