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

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

"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.

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...

“Form 4473”

My Dad once observed, “In order for there to be a registration law, there must also be a deregistration law.”

But there’s no federal law requiring citizens to report private gun sales. Or for private buyers to register their purchases.

So.... ATFE agents appear at your front door and say that this stack of 4473’s says you own these guns and where are they, please? Answer, “I sold them all.”

(Yes, a new draconian `law’ could decree otherwise.)

Thoughts, anyone?
