Probably want to look into your history to see if you've been fantasizing about killing people in the past when you thought you weren't being watched, and to look up the groups you're in and see if they're related to the KKK or something.

This what the FBI background check is for. They already have/know this.
According to the logic we should require all males under the age of 21 to register their social media accounts as 6 out of 9 mass shootings are committed by males 21 and under. [0] Remember not all/most shooters purchase their guns.
Technical arg: People will just make/sell/buy fake accounts like urine to pss drug tests. Fake account generation is already abundant.
Psychological arg: Self-repression in society is already a cause of widespread alienation. How about bringing people into society and treating them well instead of subjecting them to chronic invalidation?
Political arg: Any party could use this to disempower other parties. Foreign actors, already shown to have powerful influence within our borders, can use this to disempower and weaken us.
Personally:
I'm center-left and don't see a chance in heck of prohibition solving our problems. It's all about giving us the leadership, examples, and space to live out our values. What politician do you actually respect? Chasing wealth has occluded all of our values. Financial and health insecurity has dominated our psychology leaving us emotionally stunting and living in fear. Our founders weren'y perfect but their goal of a free, safe spirit should be persued by a trusting, cooperative, respectful society, not by forming a hierarchy of wage slavery.
Dude, I'm a card-carrying member of the UK Labour Party. As far as America is concerned, I'm left of frigging Gandhi, and IMHO guns ought simply be banned - yep, straight up banned, I am one of the people coming for <insert appropriate pronoun> guns...
But, it's not my country, I don't even get to vote, and I don't intend to stay past the money being plentiful and the kid leaving for college. America's a great place to make a few bob, but it's not somewhere I want to retire to. So, knock yourselves out y'all, I don't really care.
I'm about to NYS DMV, they don't want social accounts, but they require to see your original SSN card, copies not allowed. Had to order a new one since I cannot remember the last time I saw it or used it

[ 2.0 ms ] story [ 35.4 ms ] threadThis seems a bit far reaching. They already know your address, social security number, DOB, phone number, any aliases, height, weight, etc.
What do they propose to do with the information?
You know, sensible stuff.

Imagine they want social media accounts for a driver's license.
