Listening to the radio, today. Aparently,
"instant checks" or universal background
checks is another form of registration.
Since, it can be reasoned, that anyone
who applies to be checked must be a gun
owner of some form.

===============================================

No, anyone applying for a background check could be a first-time gun buyer.

Records for successful purchasers must be destroyed in 24 hours. That is,
federal records. In some states, you have a de facto registration because
you have to fill out a purchase form (handguns in NJ, for example) for which
the *state* retains a copy.

Dealers must...must store a copy of the 4473. If/when they go out of
business..those forms are boxed up and shipped to the ATF, at which
point they are entered into their computer system. Often times, quite
badly entered..ie replete with errors that in later will bite someone
in the ass.

This is Federally done. At any time an ATF investigator can come in
and "review" the 4473s and take whatever "notes" he/she desires..in
some cases..using a portable scanner and scanning just about anything
they want...and occasionally....scanning EVERY 4473.

That is legal as well.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
