Most of us immediately recognize and value the benefits of the freedom to individually engage in a personal firearms transfer without government intervention or oversight. In fact, the general rule in buying firearms is the less information that has to be recorded and on the books and still remain legal, the better. My short article today is not to debate or detail this fact beyond saying it is a good thing that should be protected. Instead, I am going to pose a counterintuitive point. Consider having a gun “registered” in the calibers you shoot the most. If everyone gets on board with this and spreads the word now, we may be able to defang one of the most insidious anti-gun strategies currently being developed before it ever comes to maturity.
Many people right now probably think I have lost my mind or have sold out. I assure you that is not the case. I am trying to keep you off the radar and out of trouble. After reviewing anti-gun laws in Connecticut and California, it is clear that the government is targeting ammunition for regulation and is moving to institute a policy to conduct background checks and register anyone that buys ammunition. This will spread to other states. What you need to know is that the record keeping on ammunition sales isn’t being solely done to make owning and using firearms more difficult and expensive. In fact, after a more detailed review of anti-gun lobbyist strategy, this is being done as a backdoor source of information for analysts to target anyone that didn’t “self-report” or turn in a “banned” firearm. The gun confiscation lobby’s plan is to cross reference databases of firearms owners with purchases of ammunition. Any discrepancy between ammunition purchased and the type of firearms you own will be flagged for further investigation. In short, if you are buying ammunition for a firearm you don’t own according to the books, expect that to be used as probable cause for a knock on your door in the middle of the night. Read more
