      Not sure where you are in the world, but where I am guns are most certainly registered.

        Give you ONE guess 🤣🤣🤣

        Your country already seems sensible, so I’d probably be ok with registration.

          Somewhere in the American South? If so, I can see how you have such a pessimistic view of the US. My view from California is also pessimistic, but maybe not quite as much as if I were from, say, Florida or Texas.

          Getting back to the original point, I’m not thrilled with the idea of any bike registration. But do have to agree with the idea of something being done about the dangerous class IIIs.

            I live in the northeast and my state does not require firearms to be registered, and you only need to be 16 to purchase a firearm. My state is in the top 3 for least school shootings and among the lowest per capita gun deaths. Culture makes a big difference!

            East, but not south. I’m fully against any sort of internet ID until we can at least talk about gun registration. I’m all for guns, I’ve owned a few, pistol, rifles, etc, currently only own 2, but if we can’t talk about limiting who can get a firearm, then they can fuck off about ID bullshit.

            Figured you’d be in a more developed country by the way your comment read.

              It’s certainly not Norway or Finland, but I like to think California is at least on the right side of “developed.” However, CAs push for age verification is most certainly misguided (at best) or downright wrong.
