It certainly is a scape goat, the law should be trying to prevent the misuse of technology rather than the ownership of technology. Like guns it is the misuse that kills not the ownership. Most people being killed by gun are from unlicensed and unregistered firearms and it is a misuse. Same should be said about technology as well.
- mgarfias 3y agoYou mean illegally owned firearms. In most of america there is no registration or licensing requirement
- eindiran 3y ago> registration If you purchase a firearm from an FFL anywhere in the United States, you are required to fill out an ATF form 4473 and do a NICS background check. There isn't a giant database of all firearms in the US indexed by owner and serial number, but those 4473s do exist and are handed over to the Federal government pretty regularly by FFLs. > licensing In most places (eg those with "Constitutional Carry"), the only license you need is to not be a prohibited person (not mentally ill, a felon, no violent misdemeanors involving stalking or domestic violence) and old enough to purchase a gun in the relevant state. But if we just go by raw population, most people in the US would need to go through a more substantial process.
- calvinmorrison 3y agonot to mention you don't need to use a FFL at all in many (most?) cases.
- int_19h 3y ago15 states have mandatory background checks (which in practice means going through FFL) for all firearm purchases.
- calvinmorrison 3y ago15/50... that's not most
- dghlsakjg 3y agoHe was probably referring to Canada since the article is about Canada.
- Sparkyte 3y agoI resonate well with Canada, but I live in one of the states where firearms have to be registered and you need a license to carry.
