    For 4473 address: you typically only need some proof of government-recognized address. Lots of stores will accept a fishing or hunting license, which can themselves be acquired without proof of address.

    The “clerical mistakes” around NICS are an absolute nightmare from what i hear… the government digs their heels in hard once you’re in the database. The law does allow you to recover your legal costs, but ONLY if you get a judgement in your favor. Usually they drop the case immediately before judgements, and you’re on the hook for your $10k+ costs.

    It’s definitely possible to establish reasonable thresholds - you could draw parallels to abuse/neglect laws. There are things that many people may find grotesque and objectionable that aren’t considered abuse/neglect. There are definitely historical and modern examples of those laws being applied unfairly, particularly to the disadvantaged. Boundaries may flex across regions or cultures, But it’s fair to say society as a whole supports abuse/neglect laws, and that they’re generally beneficial for children.

    I’d rather see better detection and genetic therapies, myself. Inform the parents and let them come to their own conclusion about whether or not to have children.

    A perfectly reasonable take, but even that falls in-scope of eugenics.
