    Registration is a tool for oppressing minorities. It’s racist, and thinking registration is going to magically stop gang violence is hilariously naive.

      Not sure I said anything about gang violence. But clearly you’re a white male if you think a simple gun registration is racist. Is car registration racist? Don’t get me started on gun insurance.

        I’m actually not, nice try though. But gun laws have always heavily been used as oppression tools towards minorities. The reason I pointed out gang violence, is because that’s where 85% of our gun homicides come from.

        Just an FYI…the car and gun comparison is silly. You can buy a car with no BG check, at any age, for cash, transport it across state lines, not register it or have insurance and drive it on private property at any age.

          85% is pretty specific and you clearly have a source. Let’s see it.
