I thought of another insidious possibility of consequences with allowing ATF to implement this rule and that is the following:
- by "allowing" us to register the brace equipped firearm now as a Title II weapon regulated by the NFA, it becomes less "transferrable" because now you can't just sell it to anyone, as a private sale and such. It has to be transferred so in effect, regulating the sale of private property without government permission. Easier to keep track of them don't you know.
- it's not too much of a stretch to imagine them doing this scheme next with the new "Assault weapons ban". Yes you can keep them as long as you register them for free. But now you can't buy and sell without permission.
- and the logical conclusion to both is them saying, "well now in the interest of public safety, you can no longer transfer them.
And that is how you eliminate private gun ownership in a generation or two.
Isn't this essentially similar to what Canada has already done for many of these types of guns?
I don't know. I was in Saskatchewan last year, and you could buy short-barrel shotguns and rifles at Canadian Tire, but not a pistol in sight.
