The fact that all the “from my cold, dead hands” people are buying lots of short barreled rifles and suppressors, both of which take fingerprints and puts you on a government list, just because the $200 tax went away is a bit concerning to me.
Personally, just like the smart ID is a red line and I just won’t fly anymore because I don’t have one unless I get a passport, I don’t care how nifty a suppressor is, I am not getting fingerprinted and put on a government ownership list just to use one.
Nothing in my arsenal is registered in any way, but I'm sure they tracked each credit card purchase so they know i have a little something.
