(3,819 posts)Can't predict crimes, but if those with long rap sheets are actually locked up for committing felonies, they won't be on the street to commit more. And, you did say to put semi-auto's in the NFA. That is severely restricting access to the public. Takes 9 months or so NOW, to get a stamp back through the NFA. Imagine adding millions of more stamps, effective immediately. It would take years to clear the backlog, basically "eliminating" access to these firearms. Eliminating firearms completely, is the only way to eliminate firearms violence completely. Countries with EXTREME regulation still have firearms violence. It's the criminals running around free that contribute to most of these problems.
As far as social media, would posts in "private" count as public? I mean, there's public posts, and not-so-public posts. Will the Govt be allowed to look at ALL posts? And who is the ultimate arbiter of what constitutes a "bad" post? Remember, politics can shift with the wind, so what you may be considering as a "restricted" post, may be allowed, and your posts be on the "bad" list a few years later.
Funding: Searching for possible criminals should be funded. Trying to make criminals out of law abiding should not.
Post #2: If you can't tell me what's wrong, well, I can't fix it. Was anything I said technically incorrect???
