If the offensive nature about this bill is that it is being collected based upon provisions in a gun-control bill...That is certainly cause to be concerned...But what is it you think they’ll do with this information (that they already have to begin with)...

Are you saying that the government already knows the make, model, serial number of every gun I own? Even those purchased privately?

The whole point is - the government, by this law and those in the future built on it, would provide a complete list of all firearms owned - thus, you pigeon hole some away for a "rainy" day - they will "Know" and you will be in deep doo when they come to confiscate and you don't give them up.

Nope, thats silly...They could find out the ones you did buy with the info on the 4473's you got out there...

Absolutely...But I refer you to the latter part of post #15 for a reality check...

You, like many others, and myself, have the right idea...Just don't go counting chickens before the eggs actually hatch...

It's the old saw: Registration leads to confiscation. 100% of the time. I teach history. History proves my point. All the modern 20th century despots started their reigns of terror with unilateral disarmament of the general populace. Death by Government. To the tune of 56 MILLION in the 20th century alone.
