asinine article in the national review

As the Obama administration’s Department of Justice admitted in a 2013 memo, “universal background check” laws are unenforceable without gun registration. Retail gun sales are already registered via record-keeping by the retailer. When a dealer retires, all of his registration records must be delivered to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, where they are digitized. (ATF is currently not supposed to make its database searchable by the purchaser’s name.) The purpose of the background-check laws being pushed in Congress and the states is to expand registration by requiring the use of gun stores as intermediaries for transfers between private individuals — even loaning your shotgun to your cousin for a week.

Centralizing registration will be a future demand of the gun-prohibition lobby after Trump surrenders to the current demands. That is what has been enacted in California, where the government now has a comprehensive list of almost all gun owners and their particular firearms — thanks to records created for “universal background checks.”

Once there is registration, the next step is confiscation

see? 1, 2, 3. no other possible argument is possible. they think this is inevitable. ‘they are coming for our guns”

this is why i say concede everything:
- the current, bizarre interpretation of the 2A
- bans
- databases
- mandatory training and retraining
- insurance
TAKE AWAY ALL THEIR ARGUMENTS

which can only leave:
- “control your weapons at all times” as the only thing that matters
- lose your freedom (criminal), finances (civil) and future (2A rights gone) when you don’t

rights come with responsibilities
