After nationwide calls to ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Americans concerned about the government’s coming move to restrict the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession of firearms deemed too dangerous to be in the hands of private citizens are cleaning out gun stores from coast to coast.
While some retailers have made the decision to suspend sales and stop selling certain firearms altogether, others are seeing sales skyrocket to never before seen levels. Parking lots are packed and hopeful shoppers are waiting hours for their chance to get their hands on weapons, parts and magazines that may soon be banned under Federal mandates.

Exactly, there’s going to be a neighborhood watch that rewards snitches and religious Christian zealots. There are plenty of marginally employable ‘brownshirts’ already placed upon TSA, DHS and Justice Department lists developed to rally to the red banner. We know these animals by their street names, but soon they’ll all have badges.
Man, did you ever leave out the most important layer in the equation!

Too bad for you that you didn’t have a boating accident of sorts .......
LMAO!!
Older folks tend to have unregistered weapons from many years ago, right? When did background checks start; isn’t that when the govn. would know you had one, but before that they wouldn’t?
Why dont we sell weapons to each other?

What is the most important layer?
The revolver that my grandfather carried when he preached in a small church in Arkansas has a serial number, but I'm pretty sure he didn't fill out any paperwork for it.
It's pretty much the same as one you might own, but this one has stories to tell. ;)

The crux in that case was the middleman - the favored target of the Leftist, being someone not interested in high stakes games of oppression. Leave your gold in the hands of someone not willing to risk death or incarceration, and risk it’s theft. Look for the same in the gun issue: who can be threatened, in safety to the perpetrator, to consent to confiscation or supply chain disruption. You may say “FMCDH!” but your favorite FFL won’t sell you guns or ammo if the BATFE won’t process any of his paperwork.

“All the important encroachments to the 2nd amendment happened in 1934 and 1968. I don’t remember when the 4472 form started, but probably ‘68.”
I know for damn sure I have one that isn’t registered. It is circa Revolutionary/Civil war and uses black powder and ball. It’s a long, long, rifle and extremely heavy. Since powder and ball is sort of not modern ammo :o), I think that antique is safe.
So, you are saying, if one bought a modern type gun in 1934 and later, the govn. has the serial number of the gun? That doesn’t seem possible.
I can neither confirm nor deny that in the last week I may or may not have purchased $4000 worth of new firearms
...and then promptly lost them off the side of my boat.
“Christian zealots” “STD”
The jokes write themselves.
In our area, many of the gun shops put signs up in their windows indicating they had NO AR-type rifles, no magazines, and no ammunition. If you did find a place that had those, their parking lots were full and the inside of the store was jammed. There was a similar look in one of the stores to the article - a wall full of rifles one day, devoid of rifles the next.
Failure to turn in a weapon and thus becoming a felon passively by default is certainly something to be concerned about; however, you make a good point. The question is is our government prepared both in will and in resources to handle from a law enforcement standpoint millions upon millions of citizens becoming felons overnight or atleast in a short time?
