Do you really believe those on the spot background checks go into the cyberspace incinerator? I don’t.

I don’t believe for a minute that the government is not keeping those records that they are by law not supposed to keep.

I have traded guns that have a 4473 for those that don’t.
They don’t know who has what.

Police chiefs are political animals like the average politician, and since most cities are controlled by Demoncrats they are as reliably anti gun as their political puppet masters.

I do in fact own a rifle purchased from the government, a nice M1 Garand, but since I have no buyers remorse or desire to sell it I’ll be keeping it. Sorry, Beatoff.

18 Commenting on the backlash that followed after O'Rourke's comments on Wednesday, Lauren Hitt, his national rapid response director, maintained he would not "send officers door to door to collect weapons - just as we do not send the IRS door to door to collect taxes."

True. They'll just do a remote shutoff of your rights. Confrontation is so 19th c.

30 If they know you have a gun and have refused to turn it in, they will freeze your accounts, suspend your driver’s license, and start the process of removing your kids from your home. They will shut off your internet and cell phone as well. And they can do this without ever ringing your doorbell

34 Yes, and shut off your utilities, put you on the no-fly list and audit you both federal and state. In no time at all you’re reduced to a state of nature...or you’re in prison or the psych ward. In any case just one medical emergency away from annihilation.

36 No registration in most states. They don’t know who has what.

41 Do you really believe those on the spot background checks go into the cyberspace incinerator? I don’t.

For confiscation to work they have to know who has what guns. That raw data has existed since 1968 in a piece of paper, ATF Form 4473. ATF/ FBI has been forbidden from consolidating this raw data into a national firearm registry, at least up until now.

Whether 1 agrees or not, we are living in post-Constitutional times since the administration of POTUS #44 BHO, 2009-2016. We are 1 election away from losing basic freedoms acknowledged in the Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment. History has demonstrated that the bad guys many times tell the rest of us in advance what their evil intentions are.

Freepers are catching on to what may well come to pass in the near future when the DemonRats take control of the POTUS and both houses of Congress. A complete national gun registry will not be necessary to achieve the purpose of the disarmament of private citizens.

The DemonRats will simply mandate that all ATF Form 4473s be digitized and keyed into a database/ national firearm registry. Won't matter if many/ most of the records are out-of-date. Citizens will have a bulls-eye painted on them.

Assign the "confiscation" process to the IRS. IRS will send notices to private citizens that by a drop-dead date they must surrender their firearms at a designated federal depot. Failure to comply will result in a lockdown on your personal finances and identification documents. Few will be able to withstand that pressure.

The DemonRats will not do massive door-2-door raids because that would not be efficient use of manpower and also put their brown shirts' lives in jeopardy. The DemonRats may well stage some doorbell raids on selected high-profile citizens for drama, propaganda, terrorism, and the sheer hell-of-it to further intimidate the sheeple.

They cannot prove that you still have the gun you bought 15 years ago.

They also can’t punish you for no longer having it.

Sheriffs not.

The Federal Govt just sends an FBI federal division groomed for armed confiscation.

That is how the ChiComs and the Mexicans steal defensive arms.

Under the Constitution and current federal law, you are correct.

Under a post-Constitutional DemonRat administration, it won't matter. Just look at the multitude of scandals during the administration of POTUS #44 BHO that will never be brought to justice. Just look at the DoJ under the 3 years of POTUS #45 DJT. Just how far of a stretch of the imagination does it require of 1 to foresee what the next DemonRat administration will do?

The burden of proof will be on the private citizen. For the DemonRats, as in the old U.S.S.R., and currently in Red China, an accusation will be all that is required to render 1 into a non-person.

I think Beto should be the point man for removing weapons from U.S. Citizens. Jump on your skateboard and knock on neighborhood doors in Texas.

Eat your own dog food, Beto! Don’t just vote on your silly law. Put your own gringo skin on the line. Walk to your fellow citizens and say, “I am here to take away your Constitutional Right to own a gun. Hand it over.”

See what reception you get. Hint: it’s advisable to wear a helmet and flak jacket.

I think that’s an excellent idea, he’d find out real quick the meaning of Charlton Heston’s “from these cold dead hands” statement.

He is brain damaged and needs no helmets!

A skateboarder without a helmet or pads????

Y’all make it sound so easy to do, and without any notice of rats who also love guns. This process would be so out-in-the-open that even a large number of the rats would baulk. The complete decimation of a single gun lover, yes, would be in the noise level. But with 10s to 100s of thousands being affected, the war begins along with those who have yet to be affected!

Excellent.

While as few police may try to enforce the orders, their numbers will drop drastically through attrition, like being shot to death.

It will give the others something to think about.

And the ones NOT going door to door to confiscate Constitutionally guaranteed arms, will be all that remain and LE will purge itself.

Look at the 10 DemonRat 2020 candidates.

Look at "The Squad".

Look at the 18 GOPe/RINO/Bush-League U.S. Senators who are anti-Trump.

Look back at the American Revolution. 1/3 for independence, 1/3 neutral, and 1/3 loyalists. Estimated <5% of the population fought in the field.

Never said there wouldn't be any resistance. Just that it would be difficult to survive and prevail.
