I don't know where I've been for the last year+, but this is the first time I've heard of the Buyden Admin stockpiling firearms purchases.
Since this is the case, it's time to make some "bills of sale" for your firearms. Then scratch off the S/M's on all your weapons. And, if need be, oil them up real good, pack them with parafin wax, and bury them in an airtight container, because the next step after compiling those records will be a nationwide effort to go door to door "inventorying" what everyone has.
Failed effort
To bad a tornado or some heavy wind came through my area and blew all the weapons clean out of my house. Unfortunately, as they blew away I think they shoot some people, positive note they were all white so no police investigation.
Boating accidents 🤷♂️
Bad advice in many, many ways.
Every firearm purchase from a store is recorded on a form already for a criminal background check. All stors are required to keep those forms in perpetuity.
If the store closes, the forms go to the ATF central repository. They aren't allowed (yet) to digitize the records, but they can microfiche. LEO agencies can request a search for serials only in case of crimes. It can take weeks to find any given one.
Scratching S/N off is Hollywood. The indent/impact made from the impact changes the metal. Even if you file it off, it can still be detected. S/N isn't the only way to trace a gun anyways, so kinda stupid.
Last point, EVERYONE will squak if they go door to door. Even before we get there, once it is announced they're going to do that, do you really think Americans will sit ideally by? Have you heard of April 15, 1775?
We're a long way from there anyways, so any call to action like this is premature, and really makes you look like FBI or some such.
