ALL guns sold since 1968 at Federal Firearm Licensees (FFL's) -- also known as gun stores-- are already registered. The Gun Control Act of 1968 requires Form 4473 to be kept for every transaction until the store closes, at which time the paperwork is to be sent to the ATF. They are supposed to destroy it, but where is the proof of that?

Some of us have proposed Form 4473 Burn Parties, but nothing ever happened. We got complacent.

Send the data to the IRS for safekeeping.....

All those forms prove is that at one time you purchased a Firearm. There is no federal requirement that a private transaction involving a long gun be recorded anywhere.
Unless you live in the Commie state that requires it.

Which is what I would have done with mine if they hadn’t fallen out of my boat over 300 foot of water...

Which means that each and every FFL dealer in existence today is complicit in the destruction of our 2nd Amendment rights. But hey, they make a lotta dough, right? Who cares if it's in direct opposition to the 2nd Amendment?

How ‘bout some ‘milling parties’...Like minded gang of people pooling their resources and time (over a weekend/two?) to procure (bulk buy) all non-tracked firearms parts/pieces and assisting/training in milling those that would normally be tracked, if bought in whole (EG: The 80% lowers)

NO paperwork, no tracking, useful skills/knowledge and, maybe, cheaper (bulk buys)
