You sir, are correct. However primitive this system is, it indeed keeps records. If you have ever been an FFL or talked to an FFL you would also know that it’s not uncommon for the atf to come Check the books at any time. They have also been known to copy Said records even tho they are not supposed to. At any rate, there is already a form of registration that exists to a point today. That’s what I’m driving at. I happen to live in one of those free states that don’t track private sales, luckily. I hope you guys see my point. Besides, I, like many, have already been through ridiculous background checks for other reasons, add in NFA items, etc. they know more about us then you guys would like to think. I don’t agree with any of it but it’s hard to run from unless you live i a cabin in Montana and hardly have anything to do with the outside world and pay for everything in cash. With that being said, the current system is crude and the FFL is only required to keep records for a certain amount of time. So even tho they have all the info they probably need at this time it sure doesn’t make it easy. Anything more than the current system tho, imo, would lead to a registration/confiscation scenario unless it was a system like alex, I believe it was, mentioned earlier. I like the idea of his system he describes, but at the end of the day, it still does nothing to curtail anyone obtaining anything illegally. So what’s the point?
Again, you cannot legislate evil out of existence. You cannot at this point, make guns disappear. All anything more than the current system will do is disable honest law abiding people from being able to arm and protect themselves. The criminals will still have them and the illegal gun making market will be booming. So, again I say, what is the point in us giving up anymore rights or adding anything extra to these ridiculous laws already on the books? We DO NOT give up anything else. Period. Assuming they confiscated them all from law abiding people and some idiot with an illegal gun does something crazy horrendous to garner the attention of the media. What are they going to do/ban then? At that point we will have given up our rights for absolutely nothing. I don’t see why it’s so hard for people to grasp this.
