I agree. I always point people towards Paul Howe's excellent article from 2013 when gun confiscation becomes a topic of discussion:

No doubt Creepy Joe and President Kamala will do everything they can to destroy the second amendment. But I don't think door-to-door confiscation is ever going to happen

I still have my brand new Q HONEY BADGER sitting here, unfired and lonely. Impulse buy, might have to sell it to fund my 2011 fix...
Oh they'll have no shortage of those, trust me.
That said, the biggest "actionable" problem they're gonna have is deniability. Right now there is no Federal law on the books to prevent you from selling your non-NFA items to anyone, and without record of it. They can wave a stack of 4473's in your face and all you gotta say is "Sorry, no mas. Sold them all." Now they won't believe you, but who friggin' cares? (just don't be stupid enough to actually have something to find if you tell them that, 'cause they'll no doubt be back with a warrant). TONS of shit will be "sold" or "lost". Only idiots with something to find will pay the price. So be smart, sell all your banned items before they come looking.

F**k China!
Yep. Here in GA the buy/sell/trade forum is huge and everybody just meets in parking lots to buy/sell/trade everything. I've sold tons of guns that way over the last ten years, and there's no telling where they are now. Completely legal. Lots of those were new purchases where I did the 4473 then later sold it privately for cash. There's no way to track any of it that's not NFA.
Now, regarding the braces being reclassified. Is anyone surprised? Like, does anyone with half a functioning brain think all these braced AR pistols that have been sold for the last few years are being sold to paraplegics that can't hold a pistol correctly or whatever?
Everybody knows it's simply a loophole in the system that allows SBRs to be owned without NFA paperwork.
I think the whole barrel length limit is ridiculous and there should not be any NFA classification for such.
However, people being "outraged" and all about this are silly, and the ATF closing the loophole is hardly surprising. Really, I'm surprised it's been allowed to go on this long.
We don't need to agree on the encroachment. We just need to agree on the tipping point.
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
