Reply to comment by Jeepdog539 in Sandy Hook Survivor Survives Second Mass Shooting by midmodmad

Just curious I don’t know this trying to learn like when he was arrested and prohibited from having guns are all the guns he owned logged in with his lis so they should be able to go get them and know what he has?

He would’ve been prohibited from purchasing firearms from any store, since they’d run background checks and fingerprints. Whatever guns he had prior to the 2019 incidents, he would’ve likely have had to surrendered them.

But what I’m trying to get at is do they know what he has like so he breaks law needs to surrender them but owns 5 guns turns in 2 do the record keep track of that ?

Every state is different . In CT you are supposed to register your guns if you live here. For other states they don't care. Purchase records are kept but no obligation to register your gun with the state.

There's no CT gun registry or registry requirement. There are background checks for any purchase, and a permit needed to carry or purchase ammo.

The millions of asses in this country have stockpiled even more millions of guns and they leak onto the street. The assault weapons ban helped while it was in force and it should be passed again.

Tired of so many obsessed gun owners.

'Assault weapons' do not make up a significant portion of crime. Less than 5% of firearm homicides, in fact i think its closer to 1% last time i checked.

The thing that worked, here in the state of connecticut, was creating a permit process with an educational requirement, and tying all firearm and ammunition sales to a permit/certificate. You know, a vetting process.

I personally find this whole discussion exhausting, because CT already fixed our gun problem 10 years ago. We haven't had another tragedy since then.

Its other states with loose laws having these tragedies, and they will continue until they get their shit together. We already got our shit together.

Fine, whatever works.

Murders and mass shootings aren’t the same, but I’m for whatever works. If Connecticut’s law is a success I hope it spreads. I am just so sick of these gun obsessed activists and their promotion of extremely libertine gun laws.

Some states still don’t even have background checks at gun shows, is that still the case? They’re assholes and they’re wrecking the country.

As much as the media loves to spout out "gun show loophole", the gun show part is more or less irrelevant; It's "private seller vs FFL".

A private sale, in a majority of states, doesn't require a background check. If you want to buy from an FFL, however, you need to go through a background check, and that's federal law. The latter applies even if you are at a gun show, meaning that anyone legally in the business of selling guns has to background check you even if you're a friend or next door neighbor.

And technically private sellers aren't supposed to be selling guns for business/profit, though the interpretation of that is up for debate; rather, they can downsize their collection.

Great, then drop the 'Assault Weapons ban' rhetoric, because that did not work, and would not be effective today.

Heres a video about an actually viable gun control strategy, based on actual indicators of who the 'Bad Guys' with a gun are.

You may notice that CT implemented points 1 & 2 to some extent in their Sandy Hook reforms.
