The purpose of this site is, of course, to register guns, since the government will not. As far as we can tell, this is because too many members of Congress are in thrall to the gun industry, either due to graft or to the fear that they will lose their prestigious positions to others with even smaller moral compass.
The result is 50,000 Americans and occasional visitors dead in our homes, schools and streets annually. These include persons from all walks of life, killed and wounded indiscriminately by persons with mental problems or acting impulsively due to hatred of individuals or groups, or perceived unfairness, or simply grudges. The reasons are of precious little interest to the victims or those left to grieve.
If you think that behavior is outrageous and cowardly, please become a member and then register as many guns as you can. The truly honest will register their own, and then proceed to register all the others they know about.
We will accumulate data on gun ownership and location until we can produce maps, tables, charts and statistics that will not identify individuals.
Please read our policy statements for more, and as a member, feel free to participate in our discussion forum, where you can also make suggestions on how to make this work better.
Our underlying belief is that secrecy is the enemy of freedom. Knowing where all the guns are will make it less likely that cowards and those with mental issues will use them in pointless attempts to do with weapons what they cannot do with words and love.
If you want to help with the very real cost of supporting this effort, we will soon make a procedure available.
Here is a generalized list of the data we collect.
Name of perpetrator owner.
Who owns the weapon(s)?
Type(s)
What kind and how many. We don't want to know about hunting rifles or weapons owned or used by officers of the law or farmers protecting the chickens, and we have neither the bandwidth nor the inclination to record your great-grandfather's muzzle-loading souvenir.
Location
Address of "arsenal" of one or more military style or handheld weapon(s). Minimum information is the state and the city or town.
Storage
If you know, are the weapons kept, for extreme examples, (a) unloaded in a locked cabinet/room, or (b) lying on a table in the kids' playroom or (c)...?
