Good luck enforcing it
I keep seeing that.
Have you noticed that the IRS manages to enforce the tax laws?
And have you noticed how they do it?
Every taxable transaction is documented by multiple parties so that one party’s failure to report will be revealed by the another party’s paperwork.
Then the person who violated the tax law is made an example of, a horrible example, causing reasonable people to be very afraid of the IRS.
They will use a similar method to end gun ownership.

Curmudgeon is exactly correct. Please add his IRS “interlocking documentation” analogy to my #46 above. And don’t think for a minute that they won’t get all the gun sales records, once they pass their “Emergency Measures To Prevent Domestic Terrorism Act.”

There is a HUGE (YUUUGE?) difference between a tax law and a gun confiscation. Few would support others in violating the tax laws, but many would support those resisting gun confiscation.
