Like I have said in the past, everyone should take inventory of all their firearms that the government MIGHT know you have, compared to those they don’t know you have.
They know I have several CMP rifles, maybe a few others. But those bought before 1968, they have no knowledge about.
I do gun exchanges with people I trust and keep fireams at other friend and family houses. They will confiscate a couple guns but I will have a stash elsewhere.
Red Flag states are turning into East Germany, complete with Stasi and informants, where every individual is suspect.
The New Stasi are specially funded state police confiscation squads (e.g., California) whose sole task is to carry out Red Flag confiscations. If Flimsey Graham’s Red Flag law gets passed, all states will receive Federal funds to set up their own gun grabbing squads.
No-name snitch hotlines will come back into vogue; they were tried in the 1970’s when the social climate was truly anti-gun but were abandoned when thousands of calls flooded in from informants nursing grudges. Red Flag laws in most states allow anyone, not just a family member living under the same roof as the “accused”, to anonymously denounce someone to the po-po, who immediately come and seize his guns.
When a hearing does take place and the judge throws out the complaint saying, “He’s not crazy, give him his guns back”, the po-po will laugh and do their own version of Molon Labe.
We are becoming a suspect society already; social credit scores are next. Marcus Wolf, the last Stasi head before East Germany fell, is green with envy.
