Recommended purchases before VA goes to the dark side

[jpmuscle]

Unlike your regular guns the government doesn't know what you have, NFA items are registered and the government should know what items you have.

I own suppressors and I’m well aware. I stand by my statement however.

Sbrs and silencers can be kept out if the state without paperwork (not in SBR configuration). MG/DD they can “gotcha”.
But if it gets that bad... well you figure out how you want to handle it- just stating options.

Yeah the feds but not the state, we’ll at least Trust before the requirement to notify local LE.

I joined the VCDL and bought more MK262.

And I live in Texas.

That's an interesting point I had not thought of. SBRs need a Form 20 to go out of state, if in SBR configuration.

Put a long upper on the registered lower. Now not an SBR and store out of state.

Put the short upper on a pistol lower, now a pistol to store out of state.

It depends on your age. If you're 50 or older maybe NVG's, ballistic helmet, and plates are behind you. If you're retired just move to freer place. As far as keeping what you've got civil disobedience is the gold standard. If it comes down to confiscation, shoot it out with the bastards for your principles and to set things in motion for the rest of us.

As far as what to buy? How many guns do you already have? If things go south and you and your family have to mobilize how many guns can you reasonably take with you?
Just some thoughts.

In response to your original question, I’d be looking at mags, ammo, spare parts, and whatever accessories I think that I might need or just want. If a ban does happen, even things that aren’t specifically outlawed could become hard to get, because some companies will likely become reluctant to do business with customers in VA. I used to live in MA, and both PSA and BCM for example wouldn’t ship _anything_ there.

I’d also be thinking about another question too. I didn’t notice you mention the purpose(s) of your “collection,” but if it’s something important to you — be it home/self defense, competition, recreation or whatever — what will take over that role if/when using what you have now puts you at risk of prosecution? You mentioned a limited budget; maybe some of it needs to be allocated here. (No, I’m not advocating for capitulation, just a backup plan.)

I've got a question about all this registration stuff. Don't you think that simply by purchasing a firearm that there is some database you're linked to? Weve got to complete state and federal forms and get an approval. Am I the only one that feels we've been registered for awhile?

I feel for everyone in Virginia; I HAD to move back to Kalifornia due to work and family (grew up there when the State had some sanity) and due the nature of my work, registered all my AW’s with the state. It really sucked and felt like my freedom was completely stripped away. My SBR’s and suppressors that were in my Florida Trust I just completed the ATF Form 5320.20 and moved and stored them under lock and key at a friends house in Yuma, AZ. Currently, three of the SBR’s and suppressor are with me on TDY in SE Georgia (have approved ATF 5320.20 to transport them east). In totality The whole situation from registration to not keeping my NFA toys close and stored in another state blows, but in all of this I do feel hope because of Virginia Gun Owners protest in Richmond on January 20th. Unlike Kalifornia, it showed that Virginia gun owners weren’t willing to roll over for Fuhrer Northam and his socialist stooges and are going to fight.

If it were me, I would stock up on lowers and magazines in all of your favorite guns/future guns purchases just to piss off Northam.
