warp, keep changing the context until you're not wrong.

Excuse me?

You said:

But that doesn't change the fact that it's still ridiculous and the new-to-firearms folks that read this should hear it and have the opportunity to educate themselves. If they want to believe its easier to build your own than do a ftf transfer, or that having your name in a bound book somehow makes it logistically feasible for the gov to confiscate then fine. I'm not going to argue.

But there are millions upon tens of millions of Americans for which that is not an option without breaking the law. I know you aren't suggesting they break the law, even though it would be pretty easy to do...so it would seem that, for these people, there is no such option as a face to face transfer.

I suppose we could get into a discussion about whether or not it is plausible for law enforcement entities within the US to look at sales or registration records when enforcing a future ban/turn in/confiscation...but that probably ends with the conclusion that such a thing is completely within the realm of possibility.

Considering those things, I don't believe it is accurate to flat out say that wanting an off the government-books AR style rifle is "ridiculous", and I don't agree with the broad-brush insult made by another member in which these people are referred to as wearing tin foil hats
