In this new age of state surveillance and cancel culture, a list of probable firearm owners, who do not have current ATF Form 4473s, could be easily generated, e.g., utilize the USPS’s Informed Delivery system (launched in 2018) which takes digital images of every piece of mail. Every member of the NRA, GoA, etc., who receive snail mail from these organizations would be immediately identified. We are also told that the USPS has been clandestinely monitoring the internet for home-grown right-wing white- supremacist domestic terrorists. One can easily envision how these 2 groups will be targeted by the new surveillance state with its Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center near Bluffdale, UT. A first approach could be to re-start the social credit system of Operation Choke Point (first implemented by POTUS #44 BHO’s DoJ in 2013 and ended in 2017 by POTUS #45 DJT) by which financial pressure could be applied against credit card holders and loan applicants who appear on these gun owner lists.
The great unknown at the moment is how far has the ATF’s National Tracing Center gone in developing a national firearm registry for its purpose of tracing firearms used in crimes. It is known that ATF Form 4473s older than 20 years have been collected and digitized and stored by ATF. It wouldn’t take much to undermine the current FFL/ NICS/ ATF Form 4473 process to collect the most recent Form 4473 data since everything is digitized today. It just takes the will to break the law (FOPA 1986) that prohibits a national firearm registry. Given the tremendous effort the DemonRat Party put forth in undermining POTUS #45 DJT by pursuing 2 impeachment votes, it would not be surprising that the ATF has already gone down this path. The DemonRat Party fears an open rebellion by conservative Americans against their 1-world government goals.
A nightmare scenario would be to weaponize the IRS to levy financial penalties (freeze bank accounts, Social Security distributions, Medicare/ Medicaid benefits, tax refunds, VA benefits, military pensions, government pensions, college loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans, even seizure of automobiles and homes, etc.), on those determined/ suspected to be in non-compliance with registration. Few could withstand that level of financial pressure. The DoJ could establish a “drop-dead” date for citizens to register or surrender their firearms at secure local registration depots. After the deadline passes, the DoJ would coordinate with the DoTre to weaponize the IRS. In a nation without the rule of law one could envision the state putting the burden of proof of non-ownership on the citizen. "I lost my gun in a boating accident" would not be acceptable and could put you in line for a lie detector test. Failure/ inconclusive result of the test could put you on a list for an extended stay at a “re-education camp” in the new DemonRat gulag. LEOs (law enforcement officers) would not have to endure the high risk of executing "no knock" searches/ confiscations. Of course, the state could still order such raids on high profile citizens suspected of non-compliance to make examples of them to intimidate the sheeple – especially giving priority to targeting recalcitrant owners of semi-auto rifles. This approach could include the use of drones (unarmed surveillance and armed) in the fashion that POTUS #46 JRB is advocating for suppression of home-grown right-wing white-supremacist domestic terrorists. It is not too far-fetched to imagine the DemonRat socialists doxxing these private citizens and making that information available to BLM and AntiFa so they could administer rough/ street justice.
I understand and absolutely agree with each and every point you made in your post. There are many ways that they can try to go about the denial of our 2nd Amendment rights.
That said, I truly believe that this will not turn out the way they believe it will. If any of the procedures or methods you listed are implemented, I believe that there will be push-back of a kind their tiny minds cannot fathom or, at least, cannot admit to themselves might be possible.
I may be wrong, but I stand by my belief that it would be unfortunate for them to push forward with this effort to disarm law-abiding Americans.
