Stay with me here, cause this one is a little convoluted.
GOP Congressman Jeff Duncan of SC repeated on his Facebook page the gun-nut canard that background checks will inevitably lead to a national gun registry and then, well, then the America we love will become Rwanda:
“Ask yourselves about a National gun registry database and how that might be used and why it is so wanted by progressives. Read about the Rwandan genocide, the Hutu and Tutsi tribes. Read that all Tutsi tribe members were required to register their address with the Hutu government and that this database was used to locate Tutsi for slaughter at the hands of the Hutu. … I use this example to warn that national databases can be used with evil consequences.”
First, we already have background checks, just not universal checks, and we don’t have a gun registry. There is no reason that the expansion of existing background checks would lead to the creation of a registry. No one is proposing such a registry. In fact, we have laws against such a registry.
Second, um, Jeff, you moron, the Government already knows where we live!
