They’ll probably start by compiling the records for things like returned 4473 forms and NICS inquiries, and cross reference those with their database to find out who isn’t on it but probably “should” be.

Of course, any time you may have to use your gun in a self-defense situation, it’ll be standard for police to check registration status of the gun used. So either don’t use it and die, or do use it and go to jail.

And again, I’m sure they’ll be open to any and all tips from “concerned citizens.” Uncle Cid has a gun and I’m pretty sure he didn’t register it or go through the psych evaluation, might want to check him out, and all that. When I say “checking the database,” it’d be to confirm someone *isn’t* on it that they think should be.

Etc. etc.

"...compiling the records..."

My sense is things will be VERY quiet with little need for raids.

President Harris will pursue "low-hanging fruit" by accosting legal gunowners with recent FFL paperwork likely still in possession of firearms just purchased.
They will next ask law-abiding people to turn-in existing firearms for below-market absurd "buyback" prices that nobody wants.

Those not complying will soon have a felony arrest warrant hanging over them. Authorities can connect DMV records.
Modern police cruisers can scan plates of cars without officer even engaging the in-car laptop.

Those drivers will be immediately flagged to be pulled-over.
Good luck driving across town to peacefully get groceries!

Big Government^TM will subsequently use stronger coercion like:

• switching-off water
• halting food delivery
• no mail
• no electricity
• no natural gas or heating oil
• freezing bank accounts
• canceling credit cards

They have the full knowledge 90% of people (or more) will ultimately crack.
People will be enticed with $1000 "good citizen bonus" payments to turn-in gunowner family/friends. Few shots will be fired.

They will think of more draconian techniques for the tougher cases.
That is my initial prediction on how they will roll. This won't be pretty.

Boy, what a way to start the day! But anyway:

These plans will require the complete & utter connivance of every LEO in the country from the Veep down to Officer Friendly, bottom line. No dissent, no cracks in the wall, nothing. Not to mention every bank, utility, etc.

Every friend or relative becomes suspect. No one will trust anybody. It will come down to,

“Sorry, pal, it’s either you or my pension. Get down!”

Convince an armed man that he has nothing left to lose, and there will be anarchy. The seamless machine of confiscation is not what it appears to be. You don’t create East Germany out of America without bloody insurrection in between.

Three percent of American colonists chose to fight the British. Revolution followed.

There are fifty states, some blue, most red. Are they all going to march in lockstep with the Ho?

And is every last cog in the chain of confiscation ready, willing, and able to kiss his family goodbye every single morning he heads out to violate people’s God given rights?

The ointment in the fly of every plan to impose socialism (that’s what this is) is the failure of its cadres to recognize that human nature never changes. There is no self-sacrificing New Soviet Man out there still waiting to be born.

Proof? Point out the despotism in Cuba, Venezuela, USSR & ChiCom PRC and you will get angry shouts of “true socialism hasn’t been tried yet!!!”

There are going to be 2A rallies in the states like no one’s ever seen. Remember Virginia? And did Coonman Blackface Northam address the crowd with,

“You’re ALL under arrest!!”

Anyway, Congressthings who dare advance this fascistic bill are guaranteeing themselves unemployment in 2022. Try putting “people shouldn’t be allowed to own guns!!” in your platform.
