From my posts here many know I fear a day when our rights will stop being infringed upon and just be stolen away completely. But a conversation I had the other day sparked my mind to thinking how would this really go down.
The struggle is often billed as an over night ban and an immediate clash between the last few standing patriots and "Them." But is that really how the slow, lumbering, inefficient, incompetent Federal government works? Of course not. Know anyone who has blatantly cheated on their taxes and gotten away with it? And there are currently not enough government agents and military to kick in every door in America in any sort for rapid succession.
In the event that some how a nationwide law or executive order or martial law is enacted "they" still have the burden of tracking down and collecting all information from the all original purchases from all the dealers. Now because the BATFE already possess the data on NFA type items, "they" would likely start there. Then "they" have to investigate and collect the contraband. Just gathering all the 4473s would be a mind numbing task that with our government could take years. Those patriots would likely have ample time to get squared away. And that’s not to say that buying and building what you want/need now is a bad idea. I still believe that in my lifetime the days/years of ban and confiscation will be upon us but the only ones unfortunate enough to have the proverbial battle on their doorsteps and shooting it out with a bunch jackboots will likely have a chance to prevent it before their doors are darkened. I by no means am giving a pass to any American law enforcement or military personnel who would participate in this sort criminal behavior (gun theft), but the likelihood of "them" successfully disarming those Americans who will stand the gap and are willing to outsmart a mostly incompetent government is less likely than some may have us believe. I'm also not taking the position that 80% lowers, private purchases, cash purchases of parts and ammo are entirely useless either. I'm sure the NICS system logs something when you buy a firearm.
I am not entirely certain of my purpose in posting this except to get varying opinions. I know I am not the only one who has thought about it.
