So how is he going to implement it! He has NO DATABASE of firearms owners or what they own. WE have the guns he has NOTHING to bargan with.
That is why they have wanted GUN REGISTRATION since 1962.
Britain registered handguns and rifles, then confiscated them.
Same as Australia and the Philippines.
Anyone who bought a firearm in the last few years should find someone with an equal firearm and trade immediately.
If they then come to your door using the BATF applications you can say you do not have THAT firearm anymore and don’t know where it is now.
No matter how they sell “registration” to you it always ends up in CONFISCATION.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years.
The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

So what is the purpose of a 4473 every time we purchase a gun then? Is it reasonable to think it's "just a form" that goes nowhere? It's not entered into a database?
That we know of. I'm sure he can (legally or illegally)get a list of everyone who ever got a hunting license and based on what tags were bought would tell them rifle or shotgun at least. Plus all CCW holders, Class 3 license holders, etc. That would get him, oh, 30-40 million names or so.
