Over 100. More than I need but less than I want.

I have NFA controlled items. I'm way past caring what they know and don't know. If you've filled out a 4473 and think you've somehow avoided being on whatever list you're afraid of being on, you're deluding yourself.

I can only speak to this from the standpoint of filling out paper 4473s. There is a huge misconception that when you fill out a 4473 that whatever gun you just bought is now "registered" with the ATF. That is blatantly false. I work at my LGS and when I sell a gun and call NICS, after I give them buyer information, they say what type of gun and transaction. I will say either sale of long gun, sale of handgun, or sale of other. If it's a pawn, I will use the word redemption in place of sale. Although the make, model, and serial number of the gun is recorded on the 4473, not once do they ask for it. These filled out 4473s are then kept for the next 10 years. The ONLY way the ATF finds out if you have a particular gun is if/when one is used in a crime and recovered. ATF takes the serial number, calls the manufacturer, and the manufacturer tells them when and where the gun was shipped from. ATF then calls us and I find the 4473 and tell them who and when the gun was sold. This is the only way that anyone other than you and the LGS knows what particular gun you have. I can't speak to doing them online at all. I just know how it works when you still use the paper 4473s. None of your guns are "registered" at this point in time.

I'm not talking about registration. I'm talking about this irrational thought that if folks don't mention how many or what guns they own on a forum, that 'if' a such a list exists, the jack boots will never add them to it. Point here is that you've filled out a government mandated form to buy a firearm. I guarantee, if such a list exists, you've been flagged one way or another.

Recent wars and conflicts dictates that small arms are not feared anymore by a tyrannical government or group. Conflict has become so technologically advanced with Advanced AI, hyper mini drones, massive data collection and cataloging on YOU, … if they want a list, they can make one fast!

Enjoy the freedom we have now, go shoot that Safe Queen, be happy because tomorrow is not promised.

I could care less about the batfe. If you're playing by the rules they already know about everything. Who cares. Anyway, here's a few of mine.View attachment 1178343View attachment 1178344View attachment 1178345View attachment 1178346
