Right there is 100+ guns...most of them black guns...that the ownership trail ends with me.

It's impossible and I think we waste too much energy worrying about it. There are bigger threats to gun rights than full out confiscation.



Oh hell no they won't be able to track old, un-background checked firearm purchases, but what they're are doing now isn't really about the now or even the near future. This is just the ground work. another baby step down the slippery slope of gun control. If you could go back in time and tell me in 1983 that thirty years later there would be a socialist as POTUS, I would have called you crazy. Thirty years from now there could easily be a firearm confiscation. Especially if they have your DL number, social security number, and everything else that will go on a background check with every sale. Although I don't believe it will be an active confiscation. All the government services like healthcare, welfare, disability, student loans, etc. that progressives like to addict people to can be used as a nice little lever.
