I personally don ' t use a standard ballpoint because it doesn ' t feel right to me and my handwriting ends up looking all weird and off . Personal preference though , and I have a collection of fountain pens that I love . <| sep |> I wish Doomsee ' s youtube channel would put out more content . <| sep |> I ' m very thankful to you for engaging with me on this seriously . It ' s really hard to have this conversation without people getting very angry and before I respond I want to point out that I ' m grateful for your thoughtful answerAs a current liberal city dweller who grew up and is in the process of home shipping in a Republican suburb , I ' ve got a mixed view on these things . While I understand your defensive posture I ' m an ardent internet privacy advocate and so I fully comprehend your reluctance to a federal database containing gun ownership records , I also have seen benefits to regulation on other dangerous necessities work out very well . Sometimes the individual should be superseded for the greater good . All I really want is to find a way to get gun owners to be responsible for their firearms . At some point along the line before a pistol gets into some shithead teenagers hands in my city , it was legally manufactured and legally sold to somebody . But that ' s where the paperwork stops in somestates . Makes it impossible to stop those guns from getting into the black market , because it puts a shield around the unethical dealer who legally acquired the weapon but then illegally distributed it . None of the gun owners I know are careless with their weapons , but somebody is putting the guns out there . Without records , what recourse do we have ? We can punish the murderer but we can ' t hold the illegal distributor liable . It seems crazy to me that such indemnification is built into the system . But your and other commenters responses indicate to me that such a measure as national record keeping wouldn ' t have support . I guess that leaves me despairing that we ' ve decided to just give up on the issue . We ' ve just accepted that at the peak of civilization , this country can ' t do any better than 11 thousand gun murders a year .
