Firearm registration is a violation of property rights?
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.

No, but the petty tyrants that collectively call themselves the state do have brains, although, somewhat mushy and dishonest.
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.
reply
sovereigns have the right to bear arms, not firearms
there is no law/act/statute to register an arm
it's a language trick, like with human rights, to change the legal meaning of words
the market is free, color of market is another language trick

The question you have to ask now is, “Who is playing these language and lawful or legal tricks?”
We already know the WHY of this situation.
We just have to know who is who and in what relationship.
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

The first iron weapons were forged in the Bronze Age and clove those bronze swords asunder in battle.
One of the first steps in the arms race.

If we think about history, people were really dumb those times, killing each others for all kind of stupid things.
