Who will ask to see the Form 1 or Form 4?

Do you really trust that the ATF will remove your gun from their database at your request? The Feds haven't proven to be overly trustworthy and this seems like another power grab. It certainly has nothing to do with preventing violent crime or helping law abiding citizens in any way.

To the level of it not coming up as an active NFA reciever in the NFA database, sure. To the level of the ATF now knowing I have that particular lower - certainly not. Considering they have my fingerprints on file from my 20's getting ODCMP rifles, CHL, and more - I'm pretty sure my own days of slipping below the radar are far gone.

I also remember reading Unintended Consequences long ago. In that book, when a wide 1968 amnesty was offered, our protagonist hit the machine shop and mass produced everything he could, to get in. I remember the 1986 ban too. Those who weren't already in, got hosed.

I don't know where this is going. Quite possibly it will be tossed - in which case people will be running real stocks they got to do for easy and free.
