Many states require gun registration... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #19

yes and I would also require liability insurance corkhead Jun 2015 #16

That would make the NRA a ton of money hack89 Jun 2015 #24

and I suppose you think free guns should be given out to those who cannot afford to purchase them. corkhead Jun 2015 #59

And if it's created (*snort* let's run with this illogical line) and the cost is $5 per year. X_Digger Jun 2015 #61

The only illogical thing I see here is how you are able to leap to crazy conclusions about my views corkhead Jun 2015 #64

Because it was an accident Lurker Deluxe Jun 2015 #50

No, but perhaps the owner should be licensed to ensure competence. TheKentuckian Jun 2015 #53
