Ok, this thread covers an NFA question. But as I explain you'll probably see why I didn't ask it there. I'd get the same answer from everyone there (yes, it's cool. Do it.) I'm tossing around the idea of getting a receiver and doing a form 1 to register it as an NFA 10.5" SBR (short barrel rifle). I'm not some kinda gov't conspiracy guy. No, I don't have all my food in jars and I don't avoid the tap water that may be flouride laced![]()
. But I feel kinda wierd about having a gun registered. I'm not intimidated by the backround checks. I'm clean as a whistle. Shot, I've never had a speeding ticket. But I seem to remember that Canada & Australia registered the guns and then some time later the gov't came and got em. I've talked to a lot of folks who've done it and they aren't worried at all. I'm not a law breaker, and if the gov't came to get em, well, what am I gonna do anyway? I guess they could get records from the FFLs and then they'd see have firearms anyway.
I just kinda feel uneasy about the whole thing. I think the BATFE can come to your house and ask to see the registered firearm. That sounds unsettleing. Then anywhere you take it you have to bring the documentation with you. What if you run into Deputy Ignorance who decided to run you in till he/she can make heads or tales of your firearm and the fed registration. Is it public record? I don't want a potential employer to see this on a background check and dicriminate against me and think I'm some wacko.
If I asked this over at the NFA, they'd all say to do it. Most there already own NFA and are comfortable with it. What do y'all think?
