They already have the tools to do most of this; the NSA's data-/communication-harvesting, combined with the IRS's access to financial records/assets, and the FBI's social-network mapping (see also this)

And remember the bonus army when people say it can't happen here and American troops won't fire on citizens.

They will do it is small baby steps A.K.A. the Overton Window approach...
In fact I think such an operation has been in effect for several years.

I think you're right; I believe they've been doing this constantly.
(Sandy Hook may've been a test-operation to see if they'd "moved the window" enough.)

Then they will complicate the process to the point it will be near impossible to comply without risking a federal felony.

It already is. See Three Felonies a Day.

My guess is they will eventually stop with trying to outlaw guns and use the Obamacare model instead and use taxes and loads of red tape to put gun ownership out of reach just like the already did with automatic weapons.

That's my supposition, too.
They can set it up as a "technical violation"/amnesty contract type deal wherein you are effectively admitting guilt and waiving the right to jury-trial.
Given the general acceptance of denying felons rights, they probably won't get a lot of blow back if the pick up a few "technical-felons" at a time.

“buyer’s intent to resell a gun”

Guns, being the most durable of goods in our society, may very well be purchased with the intent to sell some years or decades hence. In fact, the imputation may be made that ALL gun purchases are done with “intent to resell” (if for $0), as short of extreme cases the gun WILL outlast the owner. The question, as asked, places no upper limit on the timeframe of “intent”.

"Ya...and what did they have to pay Randy Weaver in the end? And Randy Weaver was what now? He was found what in court?"

Randy himself got like 100K and was found guilty of one count, failure to appear, for which Weaver was fined $10,000 and sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was credited with time served plus an additional three months, and was then released.

Good deal ehh? Got a prison sentence a 10k fine and two family members killed but hooray he got 100k for his trouble.

If you ever meet Randy ask him which he would rather have that 100K or his family back...

Actually I have met him. And he wonders why your federal government agents havent been charged with MURDER!

And there is a WHOLE lot more to the story than that. In fact, he was set up and they murdered his wife...for one. Oh yes. Your brave federal agent couldnt tell through the scope...you might know the rest of the story if you cared.

My s/s Ruger Mark II (with matching scope) will beat your Browning. Still a cool gun though.

“EVERYBODY should be responsible for their own actions.”

And that’s the way it USED to be, but lawyers need to earn a living! /s;)

"Besides that DAWG..WTF is your problem? You a gubermint plant or something?"

you know after reading your last few posts it sets up a conundrum in my mind.

How could anyone with such a limited amount of understanding operate a standard computer...?

Tell the truth now. Your mommy is helping you type this on the big computer... right?

Randy Weaver's wife and son were killed over 200 bucks due to Uncle Sam.

Actually, they were killed because Weaver wouldn't roll over and inform on neighbors and associates who were suspected of being raycists. The charge of manufacturing a short barreled shotgun was supposed to be the leverage by which they controlled Weaver, but he wouldn't play their game and just went home. No doubt someone in the BATF took offense at the refusal of their 'generous' offer to become a snitch. Call a spade a spade.
