Those are two entirely different statements. <br /><br />I find nothing to support your original statement. All the evidence is to the contrary. I stand by my statement, borne out by history, that the ultimate purpose of registration is confiscation. <br /><br />In any event, I am glad the post evoked discussion.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-4676721277073256772011-11-30T10:58:45.358-05:002011-11-30T10:58:45.358-05:00First, by gun tracking I mean a system that relate...First, by gun tracking I mean a system that relates a gun to its owner. More specifically the ATF's firearms tracking system http://www.atf.gov/publications/factsheets/factsheet-etrace.html<br /><br />Second, I shouldn't need a citation to say that some violent crimes are committed using registered traceable weapons. The statement that "Criminals won't register their guns, so those weapons won't be trackable" is broad, sweeping and untrue. Some criminals commit crimes with registered and traceable guns.<br /><br />I'm not trying to start anything. I simply wanted to point out that the gun registration program has more than the single purpose the author suggests (confiscation), it also serves to bring people who commit crimes with guns to justice.<br /><br />The author it correct, tracking a gun after a crime is committed doesn't help the victim. It helps prevent future victims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-21350927767478129192011-11-30T10:16:01.216-05:002011-11-30T10:16:01.216-05:00It's interesting that our anonymous friend acc...It's interesting that our anonymous friend accuses me of "intentionally" failing to mention something. Apparently he's a mind reader. There are no stats I've seen to prove his contention. In fact, studies from Canada show that gun registration helped solved NO crimes. <br /><br />Oh, there ARE guns that the 0bama administration illegally sold to mexican criminals that were traced back to the murder of an American border patrol agent. That must be what he's referring to. But no one was brought to justice because this administration is stonewalling.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-5047218426497946282011-11-30T08:56:43.890-05:002011-11-30T08:56:43.890-05:00"Your post intentionally fails to mention tha...<i>"Your post intentionally fails to mention that a significant portion of gun related crimes are brought to justice because of gun tracking."</i><br /><br />Come again?
