Mad Dawgg: “Ahh but you see you don’t have to do such.”
Mad Dawgg: When you make it mandatory to register all weapons and then make it illegal to sell guns to citizens and then make it illegal to transfer guns as gifts the gun problem is fixed bit by bit AND in 40 to 50 years is 99.9999% accomplished.
Mad Dawgg: No all-at-once-massive-gun-grab is needed. The anti gun asswipes win by attrition.

sergeantdave: Your entire statement is French surrender monkey BS.
sergeantdave: You don’t register weapons in war. Do you understand that we are at war? I don’t think you do. Your blabbing about 99.9999% accomplished is stupid.

Not really; with the NSA, FBI, and IRS hooks in general-communication, finance, and general social-mapping records they have a defacto registration. Yeah, they can say they aren't breaking the law by having a database for firearms, but they can generate all the requisite data from their giant data-centers.

And what is the purpose of registration? To find who has firearms. Attacking the capability to resist is the fundamental concept of war — and you say we're in a war, so how can you deny that the enemy would want to deny the means of resistance?

The other thing that our enemy wants is the ability to appear to be "the good guy", if there's violence he wants to be able to say "I'm the authority, so I must be the good-guy." This is why, I think, there's been so much pushing against general American values &mdsh; once someone lashes out they can claim to be the ones attacked.

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.

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

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.
