I think I have the answer.

During prohibition nearly everyine was drinking on the sly. Alcohol production and consumption was on a grand scale. In my estimation apart from the ultra committed enforcers of the feds, state, and some locals, no one cared. They just sipped away.

This will be different.

The cops did go after stills but enforcement was a failure.

Guns are not like alcohol. Stills could pop up anywhere. Guns can't.

Proohibition failed, true. The war on drugs is a failure, true. Goberment just does not want to admit it cause they need something to do. War on guns and disarmament? The gobermint can do this! Something to keep them employed for a long time.

Once they take your guns and throw you in jail what else do you have?

And "fair compensation" is going up rapidly. Maybe there is a good side to price gouging.

Your idea of fair compensation and the goberment's idea are radically different.

If you're dead doesn't ownership become somewhat of a moot question?

It isn't a moot question if yoor intent id for your firearms to pass along to your children.

I have some of my deceased father's firearms. I fully expect my posessions go to my sons and not some washington traitor.

OK. So since .gov makes the rules about trusts, they change the rules along with the gun ban. What is to stop them?

I know the answer but I would like some legal opinions.

The bill has a clause as I understand that if the registered weapons owner dies, it does not get passed on like other NFA items now.
What would keep someone from registering their weapons under a corporation or if that is not allowed, under a childs name that would inherit those anyway ?

I was wondering something similar as well. Lots of folks have trusts for their NFA weapons. Several on here have openly stated they will be pursuing trusts if the new legislation passes.

What makes everyone think that the traitors in the government will allow all NFA weapons to pass along to their heairs? Traitors are not stupid.
