How insane is it that you could own a deadly machine like an AR-15 and not need to register it?

193. Actually the way it works is that a portion of the article is shared

And the link is posted to read the rest for copyright reasons. It is not legal to share an entire article outside a link.

Also, in the case of philly, they were still able to use the registry to track down the illegal guns. Of course you are splitting hairs about what counts as a registry, and suddenly still clueless about how registries can be used to solve crimes?

The second link I shared give s a 36 page run down of guns that have been recovered and crimes that have been solved thanks to Chicago's gun tracing programs. The original link also has a ton more information of all the different ways in which registries of sales and those of individual have been used to solve crimes. After browsing through it, you shouldnt have anymore concerns of how registries can be used to a over crimes.
