There is much discussion taking place in and about CT regarding a law enacted last year requiring the registration of modern sporting rifles. 50,000 law abiding gun owners stood in line to put their names, addresses, firearms, and serial numbers on that list. As if, the mere presence of those names on a piece of paper would have somehow prevented the unspeakable evil that took place in New Town. Any rational person can plainly see the fallacy in that logic. Now there are as many as 350,000 who instead have opted for privacy and chosen to keep their names, addresses, firearms, and phone numbers unlisted.

For generations, registration of privately held arms has been the holy grail of collectivists who only have “The best interests of society” at heart, because, “If it only saves one life” it’s all worthwhile. Only to say when enacting that measure, that it is not nearly enough, and that more must be done to solve the problems of gangsters, the criminally insane, and suicide. But “It was a good first step”.
Looking back through history, what happens when privately held arms are no longer unlisted? It happens regular as clockwork, those lists become a door to door guide of where to go to collect& confiscate that which the collectivists find threatening.

Registration is ALWAYS a precursor to confiscation, as it is impossible to collect what you don’t know exists.
Has this happened in the US before? Yes, many times. For instance, we have seen registration followed by confiscation in New York City, and California in the last few years, as a matter of fact, we have seen it in the past few weeks in NYC, where a compliant law abiding citizen registered an arm that fell within the law, then the collectivists moved the goal post and what was once safe, is now out of bounds. And that citizen now has X amount of time to move, transfer out, hand over, or destroy that property.
Setting the second amendment aside for a second, this practice trashes the 4th,5th& 14th amendments.
Resulting in unreasonable searches& seizures, a taking of one’s property without due process, or just compensation, depriving one of the privileges& immunities of citizenship.

There doesn’t even have to be a change in law for registration based confiscation. A couple years ago, Parts of Canada had horrific flooding, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ordered the evacuation of a town, while the people were out, the RCMP commenced to kick in doors, ransack homes& torch safes in order to seize privately held rifles& shotguns. Why? to protect them of course. Nevermind the fact that Canada had scrapped their long gun registry prior to that incident. Once registered, it is almost impossible to get unlisted.

What about backdoor registration? There is that potential, even though there is supposed to be no federal registry of firearms (excluding class 3 items regulated under the NFA34) there are 2 potential avenues of backdoor registration in the current system. The first being form 4473. this is the piece of paper you fill out whenever you acquire a firearm from a licensed dealer, it lists your name, address, SSN and driver’s license number, it also lists the make, model, caliber, and serial number of the firearm. How could this be misused? Well, the dealer retains the 4473 in his acquisition& disposition records, aka Bound book until he ceases to be a dealer, then he either forwards those records to the person buying the business, or hands them over to the BATF. What good will a record of a rifle sale that took place 10 years ago do? Good question. I have spent some time pondering this& I really cannot think of any good reason to retain these past 10 years, after all, if someone lied on the 4473, and committed perjury, the statute of limitations would have expired. Could it be used to prove ownership? Possibly, but there is also a strong likely hood that the firearm may have been sold& resold several times. As a matter of fact, I remember reading a study some time back that the average time-to-crime for guns recovered from criminals is 15 years, so how great is the probability the records are stale& of no use? Could the BATF possibly get the records sooner? Maybe. I have seen anecdotal reports of BATF examiners taking high-resolution photos, or photo copying the bound book, in violation of the law& regulations, but when a business is completely at the mercy of the bureau that both makes& enforces the laws and grants the license by which they operate, it creates a disincentive to protest.

Are there other ways a backdoor registry could be compiled? Yup, the database. When this first went into effect the computer records were retained for 6 months, for “Back up purposes” which alarmed folks in Congress who then modified the statute to require all data from approved background checks be destroyed within 24 hours, but how can we really know those records were purged as required by law? Good question. We have to trust that the govt will not misuse those records. Not very comforting is it?

Just how could a background check database be abused? look for this example,

“But the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law,” The Courant concluded, calling on the state to use the “background check database” to identify who has not obeyed, and to go and get them.

. Does this betray the actual intended goal of their push for universal background checks? or is it merely wishful thinking on the part of collectivists?

This all goes to underscore the point of avoiding registration at all costs, for after all, if the Jews had not registered their arms, Krystallnacht may well have had a different ending.
Stay Unlisted my friends.
