Get in line, Register those guns and magazines

[rockhound]

I don't see a single event prompting gun confiscation/turn-in. You're looking short range, look long range. Think incremental steps. Each and every violent act involving a firearm has been, and will be, placed front and center by the liberal media and that in turn over time will cause the US population's views on firearms to slowly change. Let's just say our generation has 100,000,000 gun owners (made up #). Each and ever generation hereafter there will be less and less gun owners.

This will be accomplished by 1.) Stricter firearm laws on what can be purchased- no "assault rifles" or military rifles imported to the US 2.) Who can purchase them- more persons prohibited from owning firearms along with waiting periods and purchase limits/time 3.) How firearms can be transferred person-to-person- handing down from family member to family member will no longer be as simple as it is now.

It will become more cost prohibitive to shoot firearms due to higher range fees because 1.) moreEPA restrictions 2.) costlier insurance requirements 3.) stricter city ordinances 4.) possible storage fee laws that will require firearm owners to meet certain storage criteria 5.) licensing fees because the government wants their cut, and 6.) ever increasing ammo costs due to the higher world demand for raw materials along with limits on ammo purchases and no more mail order ammo.

Gun owners will become the new cigarette smoker- a social stigma that no one wants but some have because of addiction. Being labeled a firearm owner will be a stigma and it will be uncomfortable to the newer generations. Each generation will have more obstacles to overcome to own and shoot firearms. The Constitution and its original intent and purpose will have less and less meaning with newer generations. When more obstacles are placed in the way and the nature of most US citizens is to take the path of least resistance, there will be fewer and fewer firearms purchased over time. When demand goes down, supply goes down and firearm companies shut down.

It seems so predicatble to me that I wish there was a way I could place a wager on it to retire rich. Just like a major financial collapse in the US... it's not IF, but WHEN.

exactly my point, the original thread and some of theresponses were that you should not register your guns,
I don't see why registration would be needed was my point, they are not just going to come take them.. they will do it other ways
