The Pro-Indian-Killers at the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence are a funny bunch.
1) No, as far as I know, no NFA-registered weapons have been confiscated without cause. Then again the ATF is not composed by the bravest of the Federal Law Enforcement and trying to pull a fast one on somebody armed with machine guns and knows how to use them is not something they look forward to do.
2) True. And we like to keep it that way, even against your holy wishes. Than you very much.
3) Yes, we fear laws like NY’s SAFE act that is already confiscating REGISTERED firearms. I guess that makes me an “Insurrecto.” Should I go for the Bandito look? I hate them big Mexican Charro hats as they are uncomfortable as hell.
OK, this looks cool.
Why am I reminded of “You shouldn’t worry about surveillance if you have nothing to hide?” Oh, maybe because it’s the exact same concept, that is, the idea that government is pure and holy and will do you no wrong.
Even the Liberals understand that the government is flawed, evil, and harmful to society.
The difference is they’d rather be raped by evil men than risk a good man succeed.
They denied even in the face of video and admissions in court that there were confiscations in NOLA. Honest, integrity and consistency are not their strong suits.
Also to be fair, the NFA is lucrative industry, and many of the items on the registry are “Just cool” or pretty close to items off the registry. (Like AR Pistols, or 14.5″ AR Carbines with permanently affixed muzzle devices)
If the bullshit that has happened in California, New York, et al happened with the NFA, who would be mailing in their $200 checks?
“without cause” is begging the question. Plenty of items that did not get registered have been confiscated. Remember that the $200 “tax” was the equivalent of $4,000 today in 1934, when $1 a day was a basic laborer’s wage. Consider that even today no one is allowed to simply pay the tax and register a gun that is not already registered.
Consider all the old Maxim silencers that are “contraband” because of the insane law passed in 1934.
Claiming that there has been no confiscation is simply false.
Do you have a link to the CSGV page that you show? I have been unable to find it. It appears that they are using one of my pictures.
It is in their Facebook page date December 18 and it is a link from Ammoland….your article. 😀

Apparently you are in their naughty/keep under observation list .
PS: The bolt action rifle, 4th from top. What is it? It looks beefy and big.
Thanks for the link. As they say, Flak. Target.
I believe the rifle is a 1917 Enfield 30-06, sporterized.
I got my first hate-mail from the anti-constitutionalists about 20 years ago.
