Along these subject lines. When I purchased a rifle the other day the lady behind the counter that called in the purchase to the government for approval made an error in my name. I pointed out her mistake when she finally paid attention to me, and after she'd hung up the phone with approval, and the manager who was walking her through this said she'd better call back to correct it. She called back, explained her mistake, and asked if they could look up the information from the guns serial number. Didnt work. She gave the the incorrect spelling of my name. Didnt work. They had her just give them all the information again.
This instance, along with the fact that in my younger years (teens, & 20's) wasnt a hundred percent sure of the name of the town I was born in (I knew two names, one was the county, one was the city, wasnt sure which was which), so when filling out these forms I at different times (just not knowing for sure what was right) gave different information on the forms, and have ALWAYS gotten approved, makes me think whoever is getting this phone call isnt keeping the very best, most accurate records in the world. Opinions?
Also, the form you fill out when making the purchase is for State government is it not? I know in Michigan all hand guns must undergo an inspection after the purchase, at which time they are "registered to the owner". I asked a state police officer (who happened to be in a gun store the same time as me, and my question drew a crowd). If I had a pistol before I moved to this state and never registered it when I moved here is there any record kept that could be used to track that pistol to me? He said probably not. Unless a VERY serious Federal crime were commited with it, and FBI became seriously involved, it would likely just go down as being an illegal, but "unregistered weapon".
My point with all this is when Big Brother comes knocking, if you had at some point moved to another state, and didnt re-register all your firearms, I dont think there record keeping would direct them any further after you than your previous states address (why the police want you to update your registrations anytime you move even if its within state). I may be VERY wrong here, so again, opinions???
I sure wish Jerry Willson were right. I think to many people in America have become completely dependent on being lead how to live their lives, how to behave, and how to be politcally correct, so they can conform and be what the press teaches us is "successful". Until people are starving in the streets, they'll wait for other leadership, afraid to act on their own. I just hate that it'll HAVE to get that bad!
