am i crazy for not wanting to register an SBR?
My main argument against owning an SBR is the registration angle. If I have an SBR, and the government knows I have it, it seems pretty easy to come and take it. People say it would never happen here, but i just talked to an Australian at the range last week who told me how easy their confiscation program was to execute. They knew who had what and where it was.
I remember when the Clinton-era ban was being talked about, that then-SecDef Cohen said "if we we outlaw guns tomorrow, I can order X million servicemembers to turn their guns in tomorrow". (a paraphrase, naturally) My point is that at least SOME people in power don't have a problem coming after the second amendment with every tool at their disposal.
So, am I paranoid? I think SBRs have a use, and certainly would like to add one to my gun cabinet. but even more, I want to keep my name off any lists.
I'd like to hear some reasoned arguments for or against going the SBR route as it applies to confiscation. What say you?
