Update On Feinstein's Bill

[Nash B.]

Logistics will not get in the way of feel-good legislation!

If it is a no transfer AWB, they'd have to register them to keep track. Have a time frame amnesty and if it's not registered, its contraband. If they chose this route, they should just NFA them.

In Canada, one had to pay for registration of firearms (to offset govt expenses). So many owners waited until the last moment to submit paper work that they flooded the govt system. They had year long amnesty extensions every so many years. The gun owners made the country spend $2 billion in expenses, that every Canadian was pissed at the amount of money spent. That was with a gun owner population of probably a 1/3 of Texas' population on the high end estimate. If they tried it with the entire US, it would be a fucking nightmare.

Then we will just have to make it so excruciatingly painful on .gov. 50million gun owners in the US can be a huge thorn in their ass. Again, someone posted yesterday about how they haven't produced a budget in 5 years, I am not expecting a solution to the minuscule imaginary gun problem anytime soon.

As of now a national gun registration would be illegal due to the 1986 fopa.

Realistically, when is the earliest any new laws could take effect?

And machine gun guys think the new AWB will open up a new machine gun registry.
