What's the deal with your avatar?

Bet there are at least twice that.

What's the deal with yours?

You do realize that ARs have been sold here for about 53ish years?

Canada tried the long gun registry thing.
It took them 10 years and a billion dollars to realize that they bit off more than they could chew and shit canned the whole thing. They had people showing up at police stations in Canada with unregistered rifles screaming to be arrested so they could challenge it in court. The police told them to shut up, go home and take their rifles with them.
How do you think the various county sheriff's offices are going to react when they get 10-50,000 applications for NFA approvals showing up in the mail?
How do you think the police departments are going to react when they get 100-1,000 people showing up on a Saturday to get finger printed?





How long do you think that it's going to take the FBI to do 4 million NFA background checks (it's probably going to 5 times that many actually)?
Who is going to pay for all of that shit?
What are they going to do in places where the sheriff refuses to sign (as you KNOW will be the case)? Who's going to collect the guns? Who's going to store them? Who's going to pay to have them destroyed?
And what about the inevitable court battles and the stays on orders and so forth? And what about people who just flat out ignore the law?
Swinestain is an idiot. She thinks she can just wave her pen and make a perceived problem go away. She isn't taking into account the fact that England and Australia had registration in place for decades and she isn't looking at what happened when Canada tried the same thing (with 1/10th of the population).
Hell, the cost of buying the new computers, new software and new data center floor space to house an NFA database that is going to get 20 times larger is going to be prohibitively expensive.



This is going to be a logistical and technological nightmare for everyone in law enforcement from the county sheriffs to the FBI to the BATFE.

I think there is a lot more than 2-4 million ARs out there.

Probably close to 20 million military pattern semi auto rifles out there by now.

I've heard ATF estimated 5 million AKs in the country, and there is probably near double that with ARs. Then everything else.

Of course not all would get registered.

Let's say half the people register them, at 10 million guns I think you're right they would be overwhelmed.

The deal with mine is, that's me.  Seriously, that's a pic of me.

Yours has a chick with an octopus on her head that I can't quite figure out.. She's hot, but she has an octopus on her head. It's hard for a chick to be hot with an octopus on her head.

Much higher I think. I've seen data suggesting much higher. Think of how many they have pumped out since 2008 alone.

Fiona apple. Latest video.

Sounds like a lot of paperwork.  I doubt that I could get motivated to fill any out.

Wow, she's kinda hot.

ARFCOM is the breeding ground for negative thought.

I've always wondered about you avatar...
and screen name...

fucking evil hippies

The better question is, who gets the engraving contract?

Feinstein, BHO, and the BATFE can take turns fucking themselves with a rusty crowbar.
Eat a dick.
Mine will be "sold at the gunshow" before I register shit with these cocksucking twats.

ATF is in a hiring freeze.... the Martinsburg WV office had to fight and beg for several years and just got 9 new NFA examiners this month

 

Part of that cunt from California's plan is to spend tax money to enable BATFE.

The AR15 has been sold on the civilian market since 1963.
Yeah, there could be 40 million of them.

FYI...from wiki regarding the Canadian Long Gun Registry:



"The registration portion of the Firearms Act was implemented in 1995 and the deadline for gun owners to register their non-restricted firearms was January 1, 2003.
Seventy-five per cent of all gun owners met the deadline for
registering their non-restricted firearms, and 5.8 million firearms in
total were registered by that date."



Did you get that? There was an 8 year window for people to register their rifles and shotguns in Canada. The project ended up costing $880,000,000 MORE than expected and with 75% compliance registered a grand total of 5.8 million guns.



Swinestain's ban list includes 120 specifically named models of firearms. An article recently published on Slate.com states that there are at least 2.5 million AR's in America, probably more like 3.75 million! That's not counting the 800,000 mini-14s that the Slate article says have been made. On top of that you have FALs, AKs, Saigas, SKSs, Garands, M1As, M1 Carbines, MAC-Xs and all of their knock offs, HKs, FNs and all kinds of other shit that I am not thinking of. ARs and Mini-14s alone would account for 4.55 million weapons that would have to be registered. It would take them fucking FOREVER and cost a fucking fortune, and they still won't get it right.

The point of the Feinstein's registry isn't to reduce crime. It is to eliminate the firearms.

you're wrong.

I can name a few that they won't have to worry about completing registry forms for.

what about those shops that had horrible fires in their offices?

The same way they register new machine guns.
If it ain't registered, it is illegal.

if the registry is closed...you do the math

Have any evidence of that happening yet?

Yep

that's why they're called accidents.

I doubt they expect to immediately register the majority of AR's out there, anymore than anyone expects drug dealers to turn in their wares. Non-compliance is probably assumed.  The idea is to criminalize possession/ownership.  They'll pick off anyone who sticks their head up (and enjoy the feel good publicity of catching an evil assault rifle owner.)  Your neighbor hears you firing a semi auto on your land and calls the police.  You can't take them to public ranges anymore, for fear of being seen.  You can't transport them for fear of having your car searched.  If you can't take them out of your safe, what good are they?

Eventually you'll have been portrayed as a criminal long enough, that you will be marginalized; the mob will view you as just a small group of criminals.

We can all talk about how it didn't work in Canada, but why take the chance?  Better to stop it before it passes.

Assuming that there are 270,000,000 privately owned firearms in the United States, and assuming (extremely conservatively) that 100,000,000 of them were sold since the GCA of 1968 would automatically mean that there are 100,000,000 form 4473s recording initial sales of firearms. These would not record guns that were stolen, guns that were lost, guns that were sold at gun shows, given away as gifts, traded for other guns, traded for other good or anything else. It would also not give any indication of where to find the buyer of those guns if they moved.



If you think that the BATFE is going have a hard time processing a couple of million applications for NFA registrations of "assault weapons" but think they can just go find the guns using 4473s then I have a bridge to sell you. I guarantee you that the entire motive behind this registration scheme is that Swinestain was told first hand by the BATFE and her gun grabbing buddies that without registration and a ban on transfers, they will NEVER know who has which guns and where they are located. Confiscation requires registration and the 4473s are completely useless given the fact that anyone can sell a gun to anyone else without paperwork or a background check.



 

Here is to hoping that a meteor crashes into DC.

I think we all know the answer. Poorly. It'd take years for them to process the requests.

She would also ban Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics


So that means more than just AR15s added to NFA that would include a ton of pistols too.

When Obama has to register his mouth I'll register my firearms.  Ehh, not really even then, but you get my point.

I'm sure we'll all still be young enough to enjoy them by the time the approval comes thru.

If it already isn't stored by NICS.

I really hate paperwork. Took me about 5 years to find the motivation to get a couple cans.

 

Maybe, maybe not.  Seeing the pictures of those boxes of books waiting to be entered and filed from years gone by, water-damaged and growing mold from the leaky pipes in the basement hallways and rooms they were stored in... I have to wonder how much effort they'll put into recovering some of those.
