Reply to comment by Jelopuddinpop in here's a question regarding gun control by AdHistorical7107

I learned something new today. Sometimes people get a permit without actually getting a gun....

This argument may not apply to ALL, but I Understand this view.

Not even that they get a permit.

John Doe is a multiple convicted felon, and really wants a gun so he can rob his drug dealer. He doesn't have a permit, and he can't buy one, but he really needs one. Under your plan, he could go online, look up "registered gun owners near me", and see everyone within walking distance that has a gun. If it were common knowledge that there is a publicly available registry of firearm ownership, criminals would absolutely use it to pick targets. Even criminals who don't necessarily want guns would still target gun owners, because they can sell that $400 pistol to John Doe for $1000.

My plan? Do you know what my plan is? I don't think I ever stated one....

I understand your reasoning on this.

Read through some of my responses to others. Make it extremely difficult for one to get that information. If I just mosey on in to the PD, just because I want to know, that wouldn't be good enough. But if I mosey on in after I called them about erratic behavior, more weight to that.
