Thankfully the government isn't very adept but, I wouldn't trust BATF not to do things with the 4473 that they shouldn't.

My trust in the FBI is nil. NIL. The FBI crime lab scandal, the GREAT LON HORIUCHI event, the WACO event, etc- the list goes on- And all they have to do anyway is to raid the gun shops, take the records and start looking us up. From a practical standpoint, those records, plus gun club memberships and CCW records would be enough to find ALL the real RKBA activists, yeah, Granddads deer rifle may not be found in Joe's closet, but the GUNS are not the END-they are the MEANS- the means to identify those who believe in individual liberty and the Bill of Rights. The GUNS are not what they want to "get off the streets", it's the OWNERS that pose a political threat.ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936778445782053358.post-34413396405035876982008-12-11T23:21:00.000-06:002008-12-11T23:21:00.000-06:00Much needed reminder Gordon!<BR/><BR/>Far too often, educated gun owners believe all gun owners know these things, while the uneducated gun owners continue to believe and spread misinformation as truth.Xavierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00036652456691021642noreply@blogger.com
