    They can do better research which can lead to lives being saved.

    "For decades, America’s gun violence researchers fought an uphill battle against the National Rifle Association to obtain the data and funding they need to study the effects of US gun laws....

    "This more detailed personal information has allowed California researchers to conduct rigorous analyses of the state’s gun laws and policies, looking at early evidence of whether the state’s new gun violence restraining orders have helped to prevent mass shootings, studying whether buying a handgun puts a person at higher risk of dying from gun suicide, and examining whether expanding the category of people with violent records who are barred from buying guns might reduce gun violence."

    Do you have any idea what the fourth amendment is? Also, why did you not answer the question asked? What good is going to come from this? You've outlined how this data supports study, but how has it actually effected anything? Did knowledge of gun ownership produce a single outcome? This seems to also violate the concept of presumed innocence, the concept of actual vs perceived future crime, etc. Define where in the law protection from future crime exists.

    That is far from reasonable. This is not honest, unbiased research; this is a politician looking to find ways to deny rights. In this case, the right to privacy. What good can possibly come from this?

    The whole reason for politicians and their boot-licking media buddies is to cover up things they don't want anyone to know, and to trumpet their fake findings.
