This, too, was part of the Founder’s intent.
The only reason for gun registries is to aid in confiscation.
“Shall Not Be Infringed.”

[PapaBear3625]

The original purchaser of the gun may get recorded on an ATF Form 4473.

When he privately sells his guns later, or passes them on to his kids, nephews and nieces, there will be no records at all. This is what worries the Left. In my state, the law is explicit that there is no paperwork requirement when transferring ownership of a firearm between spouses, or to child or grandchild.

No offense, but that’s not how VAT works.

We won't really know how it works, unless it's passed...

AMEN

[Blood of Tyrants]

That is the real “loophole” that anti-gunners are trying to plug by forcing ALL transfers through an FFL.

The ONLY reason for registration is eventual confiscation.

"If armed resistance to gun control occurs, the resisters will not be hunting police. They will be hunting those who politically pushed for a disarmed population. They will have guns. Those who pushed for disarmament will not."

People need to read history books on what a civil war and government cause insurrections actually are. The government employees and politicians, their children even their pets are all targets for being tortured to death. The savagery and ugliness is beyond anything Hollywood would dare put out.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The Second Amendment is a RIGHT, it's not a PRIVILEGE! Rights are not licensed or registered!

The second Amendment is a doctrine that tells the US government that they may not infringe on our God given right to protect our lives and property. Just thought I'd clear that up.

But your sentiment is correct. The government should have no control over what form that protection takes.

Just buy weapons made before 1898. Many are serviceable and excellent weapons that are not registered or traceable.

[Pollard]

That's the way, ahh haa, ahh haa, we like it.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"...your unregistered guns and any other contraband will be confiscated upon discovery by your assigned IRS Personal Property Inventory Squad. Depending on party affiliations and social media activity, the occupant(s) may be arrested."

Then assigned IRS Personal Property Inventory Squads will be the first to...shall we say...suffer the ills of their lack of vision.

[ShadowAce]

The savagery and ugliness is beyond anything Hollywood would dare put out.

Which is why I am NOT looking forward to it. I'll protect my family, but I won't enjoy it.

[buffaloguy]

if cash is elimited, they can shut off your bank account with the flip of a switch until you turn in all of your guns. We do not want this to happen.

[rexthecat]

The author makes his point over and over again. The article is very poorly written. I hope he didn’t spend four years in college to learn how to write like that.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I always wondered what the real number is. I think 400 million is less than half. Anyone have an idea?

[I want the USA back]

The problem is not guns. It’s individuals whose “value systems” include the right to unjustly kill innocent people. These “value systems” are what you get when you remove the influence of Christianity/Judaism, destroy the family, and pour nihilistic ideas into the heads of schoolchildren.

I assume unlicensed means the owner is not licensed to carry. What does unregistered mean? Where do you register a gun, with whom and why?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Unlicensed and untraced. Like that's a bad thing. 😊

[Nicojones]

And this is bad? It makes it that much harder for liberals to confiscate!
