After working very hard for the past two years, I have (finally) achieved a sizable raise from my employer. I plan on spending some of my new discretionary income to fund a few new toys as a reward to myself.
Two of those toys are NFA items that I’ve dreamt about since I could shoot on my own, however, I keep questioning the obvious in the back of my mind on whether my special ‘purchase’ might indeed become a ‘rental,’ or some other type of burden, especially if the current presidential administration progresses negatively towards firearms, rights, laws, etc.
My question to fellow contributors is this:
After submitting all necessary paperwork to the knowingly-corrupt BATFE in order to complete an NFA purchase, does anyone think this information will be abused in the form of confiscation and/or other infringements that would affect me or my family in the future?
Sometimes I think it’s a ridiculous question, but every time I see the faces of Sotomayor or Ginsburg, I am reminded of how completely legitimate the concern actually is.
I would greatly appreciate serious responses only, please and thank you.
