And using that same reasoning, should I report my concerns to the FBI and also State Leadership, no to mention the local police of my concerns about your keeping a gas can full of gas in your garage? I know, you claim it's for your lawn mower, but you could just as easily turn it into a few Molotov cocktails, or worse, a bomb. It really wouldn't be an abridgment of of your 4th Amendement rights, afterall, it's just a safety matter....right?

That has always been the ultimate goal of the Democrat party, to make gun ownership so expensive and arduous that only the wealthy and well connected can own them, just as the Sullivan law in NY was designed to do. For those who don't know, the Sullivan law was born out of the corrupt Democrat party headquarters known as Tammany Hall, and specifically denied handgun ownership to anyone not approved by the political elites.

Is a registry such a bad idea?

So you have to take a few extra steps to obtain "replacement parts", why is that such a bad idea?

I haven't read a single legitimate reason why President Biden’s Executive Order would be such a bad idea.

Inconvenience isn't a legitimate excuse.

I am curious about how many murders and shootings in Detroit, Chicago and Philly are from "Ghost Guns"?
This is nothing but a diversion from 100%democrat failed policies across the nation and a pseudo president with the worst poll numbers ever.
Carter is likely glad to see in his lifetime a president that is doing a worse job than he did. And that is hard to beat.

“Is a registry such a bad idea?”

Well, such “registries” have historically been used to promote oppression, governmental confiscation of private property, imprisonment, and mass deportations as well as directly leading to the terrors of prison-camps and mass executions (*). So yes, a registry might be a bad thing! Of course, you are welcome to voluntarily submit YOUR name, just do not complain when they round YOU up for some infraction of politically modified “laws”.


“So you have to take a few extra steps to obtain "replacement parts", why is that such a bad idea?”

So now persons have to track down a licensed repair person to purchase a spring or pin or other minor part? Just eff’n brilliant! [Sarcasm]. How will you react when that applies to something you need to repair one of YOUR legally possessed items? Maybe a part for your car? Or your four-wheeler (cannot have folks “just driving those things wherever they want”, you know . . .) Or computer? (Cannot have people communicating with just whoever they wish [e.g. China, and other restrictive nations]. Or Radios? i.e. taxing and licensing of Radios and Televisions [Great Britain].


“I haven't read a single legitimate reason why President Biden’s Executive Order would be such a bad idea.”

Obviously no one else has taken the time or effort to point out the costs associated with such decisions concerning the private-manufacturing of weapons. Nor the fact that the only reason(s) to have serial numbers AT ALL is to be able to identify: 1) When a particular weapon was manufactured, and, 2) Who the ORIGINAL purchaser was. Any further “chain-of-possession” is untraceable by any form of serialization scheme. Test bullets, casing imprints, microprinting and all other forms of weapon identification have been shown to be non-workable, easily altered, or changeable over time (by normal use).

People are going to find methods to construct firearms no matter WHAT laws are passed, that is a historical FACT. There are literally countless examples of homemade weapons: https://www.google.com/search?q=homemade+zip+guns&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS832US833&hl=en-US&prmd=isvn&sxsrf=APq-WBviLuXK6unwnIP5OFJk7OGYGapxKA:1649953681526&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiI8tS4_JP3AhX0oFsKHR1RDWMQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=1024&bih=653&dpr=2

To point out the utter stupidity of such constraining potential legislation, I offer the following: https://steelforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/forged-block.jpg An image of a solid block of aluminum. It can be converted (by subtractive stock removal i.e. “milling”) into a receiver for weapons like AR-15ks, various pistols, &c. Do you really think it will work to “register” raw materials? How about we promote the “registration” of all milling machines? How silly/stupid.

“Inconvenience isn't a legitimate excuse.” Riiight. Until it happens to inconvenience YOU! . Then we would doubtless hear some bleating and complaining!

Ghost Gun suppression will only lead to a return of the ZIP gun, a block of wood, a piece of pipe and few other common items.
