All true. The question that will need to be answered is, if they want to grandfather the existing AR's, do you register, or bury a couple of them? If doing a hidey-gun or two, it likely should be a ghost. But you are correct; no doubt they can find me, search me, beat my ass, steal the contents of my gun safe and house. Should that occur, I likely won't be the first one nailed. But there will be a war, I think.
There were shootings over the range land thing. Do the government types think it would be less so if they took away guns? Scary future, I think.
