Is it good that the Brady Bunch are still fixated on what-all the NRA is up to? I know more and more shooters who have given up completely on the NRA. Irrelevancy, thy name is Quisling.
As to The Shining One: I don't know. In the long term, I think that at a minimum the "gun show loophole" is doomed. Gun owners who shrug and say "I don't buy my guns and gun shows" don't even look at that larger implications; that it has nothing to do with shows at all. But here again, more and more shooters will sell, give and trade any damned thing they want, laws be damned, and let the BATFUs try to find out. A lot of us have already crossed that particular Rubicon, quite a while back.
There's the problem with trading after they make it so every gun has to have a 4473. Guns after the new law outlawing private sales will need to have a paper trail or someone could be charged with a federal felony. E. G., Say someone trades a gun with a friend for another gun. The one gun is a .44 mag. Black-hawk and the other is a .45 Colt Black-hawk. The .44 mag. has paper on it and is traded to his buddy because its too far off target. His buddy finds out he can't get it sighted and trades it in on a new S&W 29 at a dealer. ATF runs the gun and finds out that this guy wasn't the buyer on record. They arrest him, take all his firearms in his collection, ammo and all his reloading stuff. Cases like this are going to happen on newer firearms. Older ones that have moved around without paper will go under the radar. Friends will still be able to trade but will need to do so at dealers to get paperwork on them. This supports what ATF has been doing as far as getting the computer systems in place and putting out of business dealers that are unable to get on board with the new computer system. Every gun that's had paper will be able to be followed from owner to owner by its numbers. That's right folks a national gun register. Don't think for a second that getting this computer system in place wasn't designed to go hand in hand with the new gun show loophole laws. This whole thing is being set up in the minds of the people with terms like, "illegal guns". That is going to have a whole new meaning because if a firearm is not in the system to the current owner its an illegal gun if its first sale date was after the new law. Fear none! They will come out with new laws to get the older firearms on the books. Which I'm sure they have thought this out in great details.
