What a surprise: registration is used for confiscation.
This is no surprise. What was gun registration for anyway? After a few more cities like NY and CA gets in the act, I can guarantee the beginning of a civil war. The South will rise again!!!!!!! I'm moving.
That History Channel special on Gen. Sherman the other night revealed that he used U.S. Census data to locate where to find forage and confiscate material on his march through Georgia. I never imagined that.
It is not a case of registration, per se. What it is is that the BATFE has required firearms dealers to report multiple handgun purchases in the space of one week by the same buyer at the same dealer.
That is the list they are using.
I'm on it, (class of 2006), for buying two pistols at a gunshow on the same day from the same vendor.
I have a CWP, and the dealer I bought my M1A from is now defunct (over insurance issues after a robbery), so I figure I'm on their list anyway.
