[Psalm 73]

How would they know who has what type of guns?
There is no national gun registry.

Sure, there may be records of what you buy, but private citizens are not required to keep paper work for guns they may sell or trade - which is, coincidentally, what I did with all of mine - traded them for a table saw - to some guy I met at Dunkin Donuts. Guns are bad - table saws are good.

They’ll force a registry the same way they did with fully autos. Bascially make it a federal crime unless you have the tax stamp by X date and no way to register something past X date.

Over a generation the full autos have dried up considerably.

There is no national gun registry.

Your children will tell their teachers. Your friends, ex-wives and neighbors will cash in on those "Report an illegal gun, earn $1000" anonymous tip lines.

I thought you lost them on a camping trip?

Not nationally, but in some states (like here in CA) that would make you a felon, and inellegible to ever own a gun again. Here you would have to go to a licensed dealer and file a state transfer for each gun (about $75 per). I suspect WA may have a similar law.
