64. The Gungeoneers & Gun-Nuts are idiots if they think the ATF and Govt dont already know who is

Collecting and building an arsenal....seriously....While its not 100%, they have a good idea and good info....unless you pay cash for everything, live off the grid and make your own bullets and dont use any email or cell phones, its pretty easy for them to figure out who are building up the gun collection. And even then, if you try to live off the radar, that might ultimately attract attention too.

And lets get real - I dont care what kind of arsenal and weaponry you put together, if you are one of these paranoid people who believes the black helicopters and Obama are coming to get your guns, they could if they want to and while it would be a bloody shoot-out, the government will always outgun you and have more and better weaponry....

So truly, this idea against a gun registry is ridiculous....They would be better served getting a seat at the table....
