Maybe, but it seems this court is intent on ducking the question as long as possible.
If you filled out a federal yellow sheet (which I'm sure you did) there is a paper trail that leads to you from the gun dealer. If the dealer is out of business, then the fed has your record of purchase.
Do you think the Trump administration is going to assist the Democrats in Virginia to round up guns?
I don’t.
Furthermore, many people have traded or sold guns that they filled out 4473s for and no longer have them, many have guns acquired before there were 4473s, acquired them through private sales with no paperwork.
They really don’t have any way of bullying people to comply because they really don’t know who has what.
Stupid elect tyrants to dictate how they have to live
Trump can only be in office until 2024. As I explained, the gun grabbers will continue their drawn out process as they have been doing, for as long as it takes.
Furthermore, many people have traded or sold guns that they filled out 4473s for and no longer have them, many have guns acquired before there were 4473s, acquired them through private sales with no paperwork.
Form 4473s have been in effect since 1968. Since I've had police trace ownership of my once-stolen gun through four owners over seven years, I feel quite sure that they will eventually catch up with most all of them sooner or later. Unless, of course, we have a real revolution sooner rather than later.
“...The Revolutionary war did not start with the battle of Lexington. Instead there were a series of events leading up to that first battle.
Go here, learn.

Inaccurate and incomplete.
British troops and Local Massachusetts resident were not pointing rifles at each other on Lexington Common, that morning in April 1775. They were pointing smoothbores.
Rifles were used in action only later: the first such instance in Euro-style warfare. But there were never enough to affect the outcome. George Washington had a poor opinion of them - as low as his regard for militia.
The “list of events” at the webpage doesn’t mention the Gaspee Affair: in June 1772, Rhode Islanders destroyed HMS Gaspee, a Royal Navy schooner chasing smugglers. Gaspee’s captain was seriously wounded, and was expected to die but did not.
Altogether more important to the Colonists and discussed more in public than the Boston Tea Party - the latter involved only the loss of private property, with no injuries.
British response to the Gaspee Affair frightened Colonists more thoroughly than many other events listed as leading to the war: Home Government officials announced they would apprehend the suspects, then take them back to England to be tried.
“Removal for trial” became a central concept on the list of injustices, provocations, and oppressive behavior indulged in by the British, in the days before actual combat.
You have your sources and I have mine.
I chose the one I posted because when I had all the sources printed out and arranged on the floor so I could study them all my dog came over and drooled on one. I chose that one because my GSD is smarter than the average historian.
“You have your sources and I have mine...” [billyboy15, post 86]
Are we expected to laugh or cry?
If your source isn’t accurate, anything you base on that source can’t be trusted. Doesn’t matter how moral and righteous you think you are, nor how strongly you believe in The Cause. Whatever cause that might be.
REF: my post 88
“post 86” should read “post 87”
Time for a new state. South Virginia.
What you also need is a state legislative house with an equal number of representatives from each county. But the black-robed geeks of SCOTUS ruled such schemes unconstitutional in Reynolds v. Sims (1964).
True, I never thought I would ever advocate for bigger government, but less populated counties have almost no representative power. At the State and County level we are not a Republic, we are a democracy. So the urban culture stomps all over the rural cultures.
If you all are 90%+ and the real Virginians, don’t change your name. Keep it and revoke it off of the statist counties, make THEM change THEIR name.
So, OK for the Senate, bad for us proles?
