I've heard some people talking about the need to buy guns "under the table" . . . in case the government starts confiscation measures, . . .and if so, you would have guns that "they" don't know about.
So, whether or not you believe any of this, . . . is there logic to it? Let's discuss the topic logically. If you have ever purchased a gun using form 4473, the government will know you HAVE purchased in the past and will probably pay you a visit expecting to find what records state you should have in your possession.
This is why some would say, "buy under the table and 'they' won't know about it". There is truth to that, . . . but since there isn't a requirement to fill out 4473 for private sales, . . . there really ISN'T a way that "they" know what you CURRENTLY have in your possession. Because of the economic downturn, . . . how many of you have sold a gun to another individual? It isn't required [by law] to obtain a receipt for such transactions, so considering all of this, . . . how logical IS the statement "buy under the table"? Does it still have merit?
