For all those fearmongers who say "All they have to do is roll up the 4473's and knock on your door" you are missing a major windfall to the anti gunners.
The CMP. Every gun sold was government property, all the sales are documented in one form or another. Easy low hanging fruit - and never mentioned by anybody.
They are even planning to sell 1911's now. If confiscation is to have any teeth at all, then those would be the first guns to recover. After all they are in the hands of old fat white guys over 60 who are too disabled and incompetent to resist, right?
Ya THINK?
I'm going to suggest those who make that suggestion are part of the problem and likely the first to turn in their guns. After all, they are obviously already convinced of the unassailable might of the US government and that if a law is passed, millions will meekly line up to turn them in. Yeah, sure.
Nobody is plunking down $200 for a Stamp for a silencer or SBR planning to see Uncle Sam require them to turn it in for 10c on the dollar and take a bath on it. The ATF knows who they are, each and every one, and even who their trust administrator is. They have their name and addresses already.
No fear at all there would be a confiscation even with them targeted right down to the number on the front door. It's just fearmongering and trolling to suggest there will be some sort of turn in. It's even been discussed in Australia by Australians familiar with our laws and gun numbers that It Can't Happen Here. Even they don't believe it.
Just some posters on gun forums with nothing more to do that churn up others, and a few very ignorant politicians playing to a very small voter base.
Guns are selling out as we speak - the distribution chain does that this time of year - and all those buyers aren't planning to turn them in. And most of them can't be quickly traced back to an address. Any FFL worth his salt will destroy the books in a heartbeat if he thought national confiscation was going to happen.
"They fell in the lake with my collection of AR's when I took them to the cabin for the summer."
Portraying the average American as some kind of obedient peon to political powers is kind of insulting. If that is the way some feel about it, they need to look to themselves for the image. A lot of us are Free Independent Citizens of a working Republic and we tend to obey the laws that need to be. The rest, not so much.
We then revert to our ethics. Not the Law - which at one point legalized slavery, didn't let women vote, even thought that only real estate property owners were qualified to do so.
Obedient peons would never have questioned them.
