I’m not the best person to discuss this with bc I’m not married to gun ownership. I am also mostly libertarian. Bc after all, lets examine the most recent attempt to “solve” this. The NYS safe law passed after sandy hook. Outlawed the sale of all military style guns AND demanded registration of existing guns. According to a Forbes article they probably got about 5% compliance and by their estimate 1 million guns went unregistered. Meaning that overnight in an attempt to stop a potential issue (though as any gun owner can tell you the legal weapons are just as lethal, all they did was ban the cool looking guns) they created a big issue. Overnight up to 1 million legal gun owners became felons. so an emotional reaction to play well politically with uninformed liberals, created a huge problem. You can argue they should have complied. I can argue it was a stupid law that addressed an issue cosmetically. Bottom line, our government made law abiding citizens felons by simple non compliance. The greatest violation of civil liberties in recent history (where is the ACLU?)
Why wasn’t there compliance, bc people understand that registration is the first step in confiscation , despite the disingenuous statements from the left
