A national gun registration list in 2012-13 is not needed. Data-mining will reveal who owns what, unless you never used a credit card to purchase an ammo mag, rifle sight, case of ammo, etc.
They don’t need you to fill out a registration form saying you own an AR or AK. They will know in two seconds, by your credit card history.
Credit cards? Funny, you can buy firearms-related goods with credit cards? Who knew? I always paid cash. Or cash. Or, on the other hand, cash. No checks, no Visa.
I live in Illinois but before I quit smoking about 5 years ago, bought all my cigarettes in Missouri, where the tax makes them much cheaper. I was warned by a store clerk, that I'd better pay cash as Visa, M.C. and AMEX were reporting Illinois residents to Illinois Revenue all tobacco and liquor purchases.
About 10 years ago, I received a form at tax time from Illinois, wanting me to voluntarily report all of my out of state purchases of those products, I filed it in the round file and never heard any more about it.
Big brother is definitely watching.
Back then, there were signs at the Mississippi river crossings, on the Illinois side that all Illinois residents were required to report out of state purchases of tobacco and liquor products, a sign that was hugely ignored. It’s no longer even there.
Don’t think for a minute that if you didn’t use a Credit Card to make a purchase you are off the hook. Did you ever go to a shooting range? Did you ever voice your opinion on FR? Did you ever email your friends about the dastardly deeds of our POTUS or that B-in-a-ditch Pelosi? Did you ever attend a Tea Party rally? Are you a veteran? Are you anti-abortion? They know who your are and they have a file on you.
I have NEVER used a credit card for any purchase that might concern the thugs in our White House or in Congress. I am a member of the NRA and of a local gun club, but that doesn't tell anything about number of caliber. BTW, I own a bolt action .22LR rifle that I will regretfully sell for $500 at gunpoint only. If they want anything else, they can start with my ammo. The discussion will not be friendly.
So basically a gun registration would be un-necessary, unless it is designed to illicite a response from the community of friends, nieghbors, co-workers and family to compell YOU to comply and just go along to get along...
So now we will have to rely upon the elected officials we have been able to put into place to keep the lid on this potential explosion???
The government, if it all goes their way will be able to be very surgical about how they bust the chops of those of us in thier sights...They will turn the screws at the right time and we will not see it coming...
Unless you have your “plan” ready to go now...
I personally would stop talking about this stuff, not that it really matters now, but some of us should be ok, for the most part...Some of us will have a rough go of it...
As it stands now I do not trust anyone in D.C. to fight enough for us...
So it is up to US...And, a part of me likes our odds...
