What if the ban passes?

[sansooshooter]

I keep hearing people in personal conversations saying none of these bills will pass. Problem is most people I have talked to have not voiced their objections
to their rep or senator. Also people don't think it will affect the pistol they bought for home protection.
There will be a lot of unknowing felons in the state if this garbage passes!

I think some of the bills will pass. Maybe requiring background checks on all transfers. My concern is that we still have four years of the Obomination to go and the grabbers are not going away. Next time we lose a little (or a lot) more. What if two mass shootings occur close together? I can easily see registration at least finally passing. That is the main reason I am on the fence about getting a PTC. Registered persons will be the first ones to have their guns confiscated.

Have you ever bought a firearm new and filled out a 4473?

If so, then just get your PTC without worry. You're already on "the list".

You may be correct, but until someone comes up with evidence that Big Brother keeps a secret database, it's no sure thing. On the other hand I don't see PTC's meekly cooperating in killing the second amendment. A good group to stand with. And as single retired guy I risk less than many. What the hell. Someone had to dig in on Bunker Hill.

Requiring universal background checks IS defacto registration. If you are required to prove you've done a background check on a private sale, you tie the firearm to the buyer and seller. There is no way around that.
Having a permit is of little concern.
If and when things get that extreme they will take away one's permit.
Someone having a list of any firearms I might own is a huge issue.

Quit being a defeatist! Fight hard and show your presence when necessary. I'm not yelling at you and trying to make you feel bad, but there are people on their side monitoring these posts. Once you have given it your all, then cross that bridge when you get there.

+1.

DO NOT surrender.
DO NOT give up.
DO NOT compromise.
DO NOT be negative.
DO act proactively, positively, etc.

Yup. Both guns bought new, on the list. Besides that, I've already had federal agents at my house for past work's background investigation, they know. I'm not hiding anything. Now, come to take them away, well, let's just say if that time ever comes, we'll all have to make our own choices on how we'll handle the situation. I know what I'll do.
