Tens of thousands of guns go missing from dealer inventories each year

4. First my post was directly about the OP

the OP that was posted.

My points were lack of modernization in paperwork leads to lots of lost missing and unreported stolen firearms.

I tried to explain that in practice many gun sellers are technology adverse. but its not consistent because you can go to the other half of the pawn shop and they will have computers running inventory of pawns, and other merchandise. This is an area that needs attention.

Many say that they lack of good record keeping (this is 2013 local records should be modernized if even for the business analytical value) but many gun store owners are old school anti technology.

Nothing in my post was against your SOP. THe fact that i own and shoot does not make me not want safe streets, reduction in gun violence reduction in lost/stolen firearms, better locking devices for firearms (safes should be required but cabel gun locks should be atleast mandated) and many other common interests. i also support modifying BATF polices and law to allow more focus to be placed on problem dealers (multiple thefts, straw purchases etc with an emphasis on finding out if there is criminal intent and prosecuting or if it is policy failure consent decree them in to substantive changes or take their FFL (gun dealer Lic). Every gun owner I know would support that. The gun a gun owner may face in a violent attack most likely was not acquired legally so they want tough restrictions of prohibited persons. It just makes sense.


And yes the gun stores can and should do more to secure their product. and keep better account of it. I know other types of business with potentially dangerous items usually have more aggressive oversight. For example Pharmacies or industrial chemical wholesalers. there is a long way from where FFLs are now to most other business that deal with dangerous products and i support bridging that gap.

But until the SOP is this forum is for the repeal of the 2nd amendment and the criminalization of civilian gun ownership how is my post wrong. Just because we font agree on the same methods does not mean we dont agree on the overall goal assuming that goal is less gun violence while protecting the RKBA. However if the goal of you/this group is the overturing of the 2nd or civilian disarmorment then why is that not stated?
