Has to be right to near arms.
When l was in Taiwan, l thought it a bit weird that only the police could have firearms.

That’s why many people carry.

I agree.
As a matter of practicality, the right to self defense is what allows us to exercise our other rights.

Firearm registration is a violation of property rights?
reply
Yes, Who the hell are they to require that of someone?
reply
I think a lot of firearms arent registered.
Grandfathered into the system.

There are also just a ton of black market guns.

Isnt everything that isnt registered to the state considered black market? Lol
reply
Only in states that require registration. In civilized states, that don't require registration, those guns are no more "black market" than your unregistered tomatoes.
Technically, many "black market" guns are "grey market" guns. Agorists make a distinction between items prohibited by the state (black market) and items the state issues licenses for. Doing otherwise legal things without complying with licensing requirements is considered "grey market" activity.

I suspect that you are saying unregistered firearms that are also stolen or otherwise not the property of the seller are the ones that are dishonored. Is that correct?
I thought that all free markets were considered “black markets” if they sold “unapproved” goods.
Usually, black market is the market in goods that would otherwise be bearing a heavy tax.
An example would have been salt in India and tobacco around the world.
(BTW, nicotine kills all [as in every] virus known to exist. Maybe this is why they tax and discourage the use of nicotine products like tobacco, tomatoes and eggplants.)

Maybe, free market?

There are also the “self-made” variety, with no serial numbers.
They come in a wide variety.

The ones with the guns to your head?
Funny what one will do when you are over the barrel.
Well, actually, tragic.

Arms don't need registration

A revolver made from solid meteorite and gold
reply
It went to the uae, right?
How did they even find a meteorite that didnt have any imperfections?
Seems fake.
Or maybe just for decoration?
reply
That's actually pretty common. The earliest iron working that we know of used meteorites, because they're pure enough to work without needing advanced metallurgy.

Did a pharaoh have a dagger made out of meteorite?

Looks like it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoric_iron
That is why the people calling for “mandatory buybacks” are trying to disarm us.
Just look at what happened to the rest of the Anglosphere.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Great Britain have all been disarmed.
That worked well for them, didn’t it?
