Private sales. [/QUOTE]What makes you think you're not already in one?
Awesome. So how do you carry an unregistered handgun? What's the point?

I do remember our Fore Fathers wrote in the Federalist Papers, that all men are fallible, money, power and greed will always corrupt. People who gain power do not want to give it up and will always fight to keep it. So, if you think there are not people in our government that want their citizens de armed. You better wake up, remember Hitler did not over throw a government, he was charismatic and people voted him in power. People willing gave up their fire arms and look where that lead them. Even a worse example is Stalin, he de armed his citizens and executed 30 million of his own people in 5 years, that is 30 million. How was he able to do this, people had no way to fight back.
Those historical quotes are great and certainly reflect what the Founders believed a few hundred plus years ago based on the world in which they lived.
I guess each of us has to decide for ourselves whether we believe those same Founders could have possibly contemplated the world in which we now live, or if they would even come to the same conclusions if drafting a Constitution today. I mean, let’s be honest, the Founders did get some pretty significant shit wrong (e.g. slavery, property and voting rights, etc.) so it is not like they were omniscient.
Each of us also has to decide whether we view the Constitution as a document the application of which must adjust to remain current and relevant, or whether it is inflexible and absolute regardless of when it was written or how society changes.

If you are seriously stocking up on firearms through private sales just to avoid being on a national registry, I sincerely hope those purchases (1) come with foil hats, (2) come with butt plugs to prevent probes during alien abductions; and (3) come with fur ball medicine in case Sasquatch takes you to a hidden cave in the forest and plays tonsil hockey with you.
That's not what I said I was doing. I just responded to ddays asking how i know there's not a registry now. Because there currently is private sales just goes to show there is no way the government knows which guns I do or do not own.If you are seriously stocking up on firearms through private sales just to avoid being on a national registry, I sincerely hope those purchases (1) come with foil hats, (2) come with butt plugs to prevent probes during alien abductions; and (3) come with fur ball medicine in case Sasquatch takes you to a hidden cave in the forest and plays tonsil hockey with you.
don’t make the mistake of thinking the US won’t end up like that at some point.]

I'm not making fun, or trying to get a reaction here, but do you really, 100% believe that this is remotely possible in the US?
I carry an unregistered weapon every day.But what is the point of having an unregistered weapon? You can't carry it. What if you use it against an intruder in your home? Look, I can see why it appeals to some people to have something no one else knows that you have, but in reality, what does having something like that accomplish? Use against a a tyrannical government? For when the black helicopters hover in your front yard and the jackbooted thugs rappel onto your lawn and come looking for your guns? C'mon, you can't realistically think that's remotely possible :crazyeyes:

If some one breaks into my house do you think i'm going to care if my gun is registered or not? What is a registered gun anyway? When you buy a gun they run a back ground check and that's all. the only serial number or any type of connection to a buyer and that gun are only kept in case the ATF audits the seller. They aren't turned in to "the government" or State. I think Massachusetts requires you send the state a spent shell for ballistics or some dumb shit. As far as I know it has never solved a single crime.

I can’t answer that as I just, right now, lost all my firearms in an unfortunate boating accident.

Well that certainly sucks. What happened?
Yes.So you are saying its legal to use an unregistered firearm for self defense in your state?
Correct, I am registered, my tool of choice is not.Colorado doesn't require registration on firearms either. Even for CCW carriers.
