    Yes the technological society has put us in jeopardy of sorts if the Government were to act against the people........

    However, it is also a very fragile society and could come apart with influence from a very large scale natural disaster to an EMP attack......

    Whatever the numbers, now tell me what is my legal responsibilities (NFA excluded) to inform the government if:

    a. I give a handgun away?

    b. I give a rifle or shotgun away?

    c. A handgun comes up missing?

    d. A rifle or shotgun comes up missing?

    I'm assuming you mean after an incident, because obviously now it's nada....

    ...I keep finding numbers over 588,000.

    That number comes from the 2017 ATF annual statistical update. It reflects the total number of NFA registered weapons through end of CY17. Of those 588K, roughly 242k are suppressors.

    In 2018, the total # grew to 637K, 265K suppressors. Interestingly, there are 37K machine guns in Texas. These numbers include domestic LE agencies, but not military.

    In 2018, there were 1.57M NICS firearms checks in Texas alone. Add to that LTC purchasers, and you get the idea.

    And here I thought I was answering your question.
    What I'm getting at is I don't have any to confiscate, and that's if they figured out I had guns.

    (To those fearing the gun confiscation, and out of all the millions of guns, I guess I'm the only one that doesn't have to fear)

    Gunz are icky.
    Think about it for a minute.
    Every time you purchase a legal firearm the transaction is recorded. All those 4473's eventually end up at the ATF.
    They know when and where the gun was made, where it was shipped, and who purchased it. Background checks also tell them you bought one.
    Think long game.
    You aren't going to have the problem keeping your guns.
    Your descendants will. There is already encroaching law about ammo purchasing. Your grandkids will feel the squeeze.
    You can't honestly believe the .gov isn't monitoring this very website taking notes on who owns what?

    Then you could have just said that instead of asking a multi-part question...


    :green:
    I think it was a better impact to show that unarming Texans, and I'm sure millions of others around the country, isn't quite as easy as some make it out to be.

    I hope you informed the ATF on all those sales you made lately. How many are you down to, one or two now?

    Which means that there could easily be 20 million guns in Texas.

    Well, guess what? I've been buying guns and cutting them up into tiny little pieces and disposing them all over the desert.
    The good leftest citizen I am, is doing all I can to at least keep those guns out of all your nazi hands.

    So, that's how y'all do it!?
    Means I can keep this latest boat ...
