Ryanxia's idea to flood the system with transfer requests requiring background checks, but for several different reasons:
1) We can flood the system with firearm UBC requests, but not actually transfer the firearm. Or go ahead and transfer it. Makes no difference. This is what happens anyway when we loan a person one of our firearms for an indeterminate period of time. At some time later, we have the gun back and it is as if the firearm never moved. So why bother actually moving it? THE POINT IS: The government has no idea where a given firearm is at any particular point in time. Or who is in possession of the firearm. THIS IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
2) We file firearm UBC requests for our grandmothers, elderly uncles, children, neices and nephews, friends and neighbors, anyone who will permit it. Since we're not actually giving possession of the firearm to them (or we may give it to them for a second, a minute, an hour or forever), we can transfer the same firearm to dozens of people. Simultaneously, or in so rapid time sequence that no one really knows where the firearm is. THIS IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
3) Since there are well over 100 million guns in the USA, distributed over maybe 50 million owners, we can do the above type "transfers" and UBCs so many times that basically the entire adult population of the USA has been UBC'd. Out of the 315 million Americans, there are maybe 200 million adults. The 50 million of us with guns can get most of the other 150 million UBC'd in a matter of months. THIS IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE, because the danger of a UBC system becoming a universal gun registry is much ameliorated if basically every person is in the registry.
4) The point is not to disable the UBC system by overloading it (though that has a certain devilish appeal
). The point is to render the UBC system meaningless since basically every person will be UBC'd and to render it impotent as a database for tracking of firearms. In other words, UBC cannot be used to construct a firearm registry. THIS IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
The FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE is that firearm possession must be anonymous in order for firearms to serve their primary constitutional purpose, which is to discourage governmental tyranny by one's own government.
