Ask a liberal or someone that is pro Registration, why, why does the Government need to know how many firearms I own and of what kind.
To curb gun violence, is a pretty pat answer. OK, how is the Government knowing who owns what, going to stop criminals from committing crimes?
Answering that will become more difficult as that narrative has not been spoon fed to them. The pat answer is usually something like, it just will, or “we need to do something”. Which of course are non-answers.
The real answer.
There are only two reason why the Government requires registration , only two. Doesn’t matter if your car, truck, atv, boat, camper, trailer, house, property, or your firearms, the two reasons are the same.
The first reason is so they can TAX it, pure plain and simple, to generate revenue by taxing everyday essentials, and luxury items.
The second reason is of course Confiscation, without registration, confiscation, seizure of property, eminent domain becomes much more difficult if not impossible.
That’s it, there is no other reason to “ register” anything we own with the government. Period.
