 The only reason for it is to keep the public eye out.

Well then, you, start the FIX !
And the Best Way to do that,
is for YOU to, post your name, address, age, gender, etc.etc.etc !
And that YOU have a gun.
Here, FB, Twitter, all sorts of social media.

No Problem, Right !

Oh yea, forgot, you can't read,
or comprehend the posts I make.
After all YOU said:
"jiberish that you can't quite make sense of"

So as Gilda Radner always said:
'Never Mind'

In a room full of people with guns and shots being fired by some,... how do the "good" people identify the other good people?...
MAGA hats?....
The likelihood of them identifying each other as bad guys is pretty great.  


How do the police identify the bad guy?...

More guns will just make things worse.

Well one, 'common sense' way would be:
Who, is shooting at me ?  Who has a gun in a inappropriate place?  Who is shooting at who ?

The likelihood of them identifying each other as bad guys is pretty great.  
(I believe you mean, 'them', 'as a good guy/gal with a gun'.
And, 'each other' as other, 'as a good guy/gal with a gun' people.)
With that in mind. (Never been in a situation where in a theater/restaurant/school, and a 'bad' guy started randomly shooting at people.  
I do believe the first reaction would be to hide/barricade. Then access the situation. Then determine if I should leave/retreat/engage. And those decisions would be made by, 'common sense', and experience.

Bot, remember, their is no one, even suggesting that you, give up your right to be, defenseless.
Their is none saying you, 'have to', defend yourself.

How do the police identify the bad guy?...
People that point a gun at them !

 just unnecessary and hindering to creating well designed studies

I believe that was because of the 'gun-grabbers', efforts.
which they tried all sorts of ways to 'ban' guns.
By making them, un-popular.
Didn't that amendment come about, because the anti-gunners were filling all sorts of frivolous lawsuits ?

Which when many of the gun grabbers saw what happened, they tried to do a end run around the Fed law, then saw how it totally backfired, when people did it With State stats.

Nothing changed as to LEO's 'tracking' a firearm.

The item can be studied without using my personal information.
Yea it can. The amendment can be added to, if it needs to be.

The problem is the, 'Anti-Gunners', want YOUR name, address, etc.
Just for 'owning' or applying for a FOID card/permit and not owning a firearm. As it was said "easy as going the FOIA request route to get that info"

Numbers, made/imported/sold, firearm/s used in a crime, what kind of crime, firearms used in accidents/suicide, and a whole bunch more.
How are any of those affected ?
Their are other agency's keeping those records.

The big deal is, does,
Bot or tt, want their name published,
their address published,
their phone number/s published
The number of, and kinds of guns, published ?

I know I don't.
