In Germany the first thing they did was take all the peoples guns saying "we will protect you" This was after they required everyone to register every firearm in their homes. It took only two years and as can be seen today it can be done with Executive orders now. Power has a way of doing that to a person, and I don't want to fear our Government.
Everyone I know says they would not comply with such a thing.
That fear is why, I suspect, the US government explicitly states that neither it nor its agencies will create a national gun registry.
That assurance was at the top of the "Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act" (which is the universal background check bill that I posted upthread).
How does your fear that the US government is gonna try to come take your guns sometime in the future, like what happened in Nazi Germany 70 years ago, become more realistic by requiring private firearms transactions to go through the same background checking as dealer firearms transactions? It doesn't. No rational argument or connection between the two exists.
