Its not really registering that is the problem. He needed a permit/license to even buy one in NYC. Background checks are, don't let anyone tell you different, is defacto(?) registration.
I'm in the market for a handgun right now. Kansas is "Open Carry". No license, no registration...just your standard paperwork at the shop. So...when I move? I check the laws there, register if needed...etc. Easy pesy. Eventually, I'd like to get my federal CCP. However, that's in due time...and with due cash...lol
Im in the same boat... like to get one, learn how to use it. KY is open carry, but I'd like to do the classes and get the CCDW permit too. Not real sure on the registration process, besides background checks before you buy
Hoping not to thread jack------but anyone else here not own a gun, never own a gun, and never fired a gun?
Me. I don't own one, and have never owned one, and, other than doing rifle firing at camp as a kid, have never fired a gun as an adult. Since the gun ownership rules in MA are some of the toughest in the nation (which I applaud), I would like to, at some time, take a gun training/safety course from a reputable non-NRA-affiliated entity just so I can become more familiar with them, in case I ever decide to buy one for home protection purposes only.
I was going to type a response, but it is clear that it is pointless. I'll stick to convincing people to think about their political and religious views instead. Lol.
Surprise surprise. Who'da thunk this thread would evolve/devolve into an over-reaching all-encompassing second amendment debate? LOL. Here's an offer. In the spirit of this thread title. "Question for the Gun people" I'd be willing to give a simple answer to a simple question. I'm "gun people". So ask me an honest question. I'll give you an honest answer. I'll tell you what I think. Not what other people think. I will not demonize opposing views. It'll be just my thoughts and opinions, nothing more. Big can of worms? We'll see.
Just to touch on initial part of the thread Felton had an unregistered handgun in NYC because it was impossible to register it. Handguns are illegal in NYC, everywhere else in the state you can own a handgun and register it.

that's exactly what i don't get.....you are making millions of dollars playing basketball why can't you just follow the damn law? Hell even if you are making 30K why can you just follow the law?

You have any idea how many paragraphs I have written and deleted in regards to this thread?
Me too. I'm not trying to attack anyone here. Heck, people were just recently complaining that we don't have enough debate around here, but no one will actually engage in real debate. It is the same rhetoric over and over. I asked a simple question. Is your fear of the government and possible confiscation great enough to risk being fined a huge sum, possibly lose your job, going to prison, etc? Isn't it less of a risk to just follow the laws? I'm not saying the laws are right or wrong, but I do know what happens when I break them regardless of what I think about them. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to change them. This is much like the anti-smoking laws that are hurting our "other" hobby. I'm not going to light up a stogie in the teacher break room on Monday. I want to and think I should be able to, but obviously I'm not.
