So, you guys will just post inventories of your guns...along with PICTURES...on a public, trolled-by-federal-agent gun/gun issues forum?
You mean their perfectly legal guns that they should not be ashamed of owning?
What do you think, you're invisible on the internet or something? That semi-auto rifles and pistols will never be outlawed again? That ATF morons won't use this forum in their investigations to prosecute 'gun criminals' when the time comes?
I posted this in another thread, and I'll modify it slightly and post it again here.
Seems like a lot of work
1. Constantly monitor gun boards, spending hundreds of hours a week looking for people saying they own guns (be careful to filter out 16 year old mall ninjas and airsofters).
2. Record all the usernames and the guns they claim to own. Hope that they aren't making it up and haven't sold any guns since you made you list.
3. Get a warrant for the hosting provider to get the mysql databases.
4. Match up the posts with the IP addresses on the dates of the suspicious posts.
5. Get another warrant (or would it be a supoena duces tecum, you lawyer types?) the ISP to give you the real name of the ip address that matches up at the time of the post, assuming they have it in their logs still because you've been secretly compiling this list for years. Hopefully, there weren't any proxy servers, then you'd need to subpoena the proxy logs too.
6. Then actually go after all of these people.
Or you could do what is more likely:
1. Get the 4473 forms.
or
1. Get the list of customers from whatever brick and mortar/online shop.
or
1. Get the NRA's member list.
or
1. Gun registration lists
or
1. CFP lists.
or
1. Any number of much easier ways to produce a list.
2. Go after these people.
When are you expecting this forcible gun ban? 10 years down the road? 20 years? Do you really think the government is making some kind of list based on internet pictures that they are going to refer to in 20 years to make sure they didn't any guns?
Seriously. I want one you "Oh no, the government is watching!" people to actually explain this concern in a coherent manner how exactly the government is going to do this.
I'd be far more concerned with social engineering and theft than the government, but then again, I left my tinfoil hat at home today.
