....some time ago here on FR, a bloke from Australia commented to NEVER NEVER register your weapons....! he pointed out (rightly) that if the gubbermint knows who has what weapons, it is really just an easy step toward confiscation when (not if....) the time comes...! I lived in Virginia for almost a half-century and were living there now, I would NEVER register my (newly-purchased...) AR-15. As we love to say down here in The Lone Star State, MOLON LABE....
That might have been me. If not then it’s excellent advice. The tricky bit is picking the moment when “NO!!!” becomes BANG! BANG! BANG! “NO!!!”
