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.

Well we don’t know yet, it hasn’t come about, but I am sure if confiscation comes he will try the police departments first, the military second , and the UN third.

Man, did you ever leave out the most important layer in the equation!

Basic training will certainly show you where all the parts are, what they are called, what they do, and how to clean and maintain them.

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?

Those pics from shtfplan look like plenty compared to the gun shops I've visited lately.
Picture in your mind the scene from 'How the Grinch stole Christmas'

"Then the last thing he took Was the log for their fire.
Then he went up the chimney himself, the old liar.
On their walls he left nothing but hooks, and some wire.

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.

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. ;)

Thank God for the good news. American Constitutionalists getting armed to protect America from the Democratic/Communists dictatorship we are now slipping under.

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.

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.

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?
