If Blubbering Biden and Cumbucket Kamala manage to get in the White House, they'll try something like this:
Passing an Executive Order <--(pronounced Excrement Odor) that all semi-auto pistols, rifles and shotguns be added to the NFA registry.
There will even be an amnesty period to forgo the usual $200 fee - BUT - you must apply within 30 days.
The quisling politicians and their collaborators in the news media will praise this as a great idea, along with the usual paternalistic slobbering
"Hey! It's reasonable, right?"
"We just want make sure these guns don't 'fall into the wrong hands'. It's to keep our streets and communities safe."
Next, they'll raise that suspicious eyebrow while asking in a concerned voice, "You ARE for safe streets, right?"
"Besides" they add, "You wouldn't buy or sell a car without a title."
They'll also try pushing the greed and ego buttons.
"Wow! Just think how much each and every one of your prized toys will be worth once it's on the registry and transferable!"
Gives a wink and a nudge; "Remember what happened with registered and transferable full-autos after the NFA of 1986 was passed!?"
Grinning, "Not only will you be one of the 'cool kids' with registered semi-autos, you'll be rich overnight!!!"
IF they can get compliance?
How many here still have EVERYTHING that was purchased on a 4473 from a licensed dealer?
Ever trade one at a pawn shop for a newer / better toy or do a private sale at a gun show?
How many of those [in the free states] remember which firearms they did fill out papers on and which ones were private purchases?
*knock at the door* Compliance agent is there with a half dozen other badges waiting in the front yard.
"According to our records, you purchased a Remington 1100 shotgun from Wal Mart in 1996, but failed to put it on the NFA registry.
You, "Oh, I traded that a couple years ago at XYZ Pawn for a Glock 17. That's the one on the registery."
Compliance agent, "Yes, we show the Glock 17. Can you produce the Remington shotgun purchased by you from Wal Mart?"
You, "No, I just told you it was traded for the . . ."
Agent, motioning the badges over. "Sir, XYZ Pawn does not show any trade for the Glock. The NFA shotgun in question is not listed in their book."
You, "We'll there must be some mistake. I made that trade in July or August of. . . "
That's when your brain comes to a screeching halt and there's a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.
"Wait a minute." You take a step back, "I just now told you it was traded, how do you know they don't have it without calling . . ."
Now the agent steps back, as the badges pounce.
You're beaten to a bloody pulp and handcuffed.
News crew appears an instant later to get footage of all your previously registered and legal weapons being seized.
The media vilifies you as a criminal noncomplier with a stockpile of dangerous weapons.
Along with the components for weapons of mass destruction hidden in your house! (laundry bleach / cleaning supplies / automotive fluids)
A search of your computer history shows ties to anti-government radical and racist groups (including the dreaded GUNSNET Scourge of the inter-webs!!!)
With the back-log of other NFA violations, it will probably take 60 to 90 days for your arraignment and bail hearing.
But that's just the price of living in a 'free' and 'safe' country.
"Right?" [wink-wink nudge-nudge]
To repeat:
Keep them.
Keep ALL of them.
Guns will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no guns.
