Lemme Check

Ilhan Omar thinks we should have Federal gun registration.

Yeah, right.  Let's ignore that the number of firearms is increasing steadily and the rate of crime done with them is falling.

As Fuddbusters points out, let's say the, ever efficient, Feral Gubmint can register a gun a minute.

There's 637 to 985 million firearms out there to register!

At one a minute...  1,215.28 to 1,897.2 years.

This assumes 100% compliance, and even traditionally polite and law-abiding Canada can't get that!

We're also seeing the effects of giving up personal arms in places like Great Britain.

Compliance is gonna be low.

Even saying, "we're gonna register all the new guns and not worry about the almost a billion already out there!" adds 47.7 years of registration at one gun a minute every year for the 25 million guns added to the supply.

I think they can record and register the new guns a lot faster than one a minute.

It's possible to register all the new guns.

It's not possible to account for all the existing guns.

When a gun is damaged beyond repair, there's no requirement to tell anyone about it.  Some simple precautions and it's in the scrap bin.

Ten years later, what gun?

The non-compliant will simply say they had the proverbial boating accident and without a search of their residence you don't know if they're lying.  You can't know!

This also assumes they hid it IN their residence to be found during a search too.

I think your average clumsy boater is smart enough to cache their accidentally lost guns off site.

Home Depot sells everything you need to hide a gun for decades.
