FISKING AN IDIOT: NFA ALL THE WAY
“Take All The Guns” has a “comprehensive plan to take all of the guns.” Perhaps this person isn’t really an idiot, as the use of the hashtag “#DisarmOurDemocracy” is so over the top that it could be parody. But reading more of the new Twitter account’s posts suggests it’s for real.
Let’s get started.
Gun violence is an epidemic rivaled only by COVID-19 in our time. As we are taking progressive steps to eliminate COVID, so we should also work to eliminate guns in America. I have a plan that could result in a gun free America within a generation.
Rivaled only by ChinCOVID? The CDC begs to differ.
Heart disease: 659,041
Cancer: 599,601
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,499
Diabetes: 87,647
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,565
Influenza and pneumonia: 49,783
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,511
Morbidly amusingly, that list conspicuously leaves out the third leading cause of death: medical errors. Doctors. 250,000 to 400,000 deaths per year. ChinCOVID comes in at 552,475. Firearms?
Moving on…
1. Congress must add several Supreme Court justices to undo the harmful and immoral work done by the Trump administration
All right! Trump’s only major firearm action was the bump-fire stock ban. We’re gonna reverse that. Yippee!
2. Pass a bill to add all existing firearms to the NFA Registry and give a refundable tax credit to offset registration fees. Close the registry after the initial 90 day registration period.
90 days to register millions of new NFA firearms? You’re going to need a lot more clerks at the ATF. And please note how discriminatory — against poor people and blacks — this is. They have to find two hundred bucks per gun up front. I guess only rich people need guns. For now.
3. Pass a bill revoking Federal Firearms Licenses in interstate commerce. Authorize the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives to build a database of all gun purchases in the past 20 years using the 4473s held by the closed FFLs.
Hmm. I wonder who is going to build and sell guns to the police and military. Dipstick here is killing all FFLs. And doing this so outright, I think we’re going to seen the beginning of compliance issues. How cooperative in turning over 4473s and bound books will licensees be… after you destroyed their livihood?
4. Order the BATFE to begin a review of the existing NFA Registry and cross-reference the known records. Use the resources of the BATFE and FBI to track down any inaccurate records.
Saying “existing” NFA registry is a little confusing. Does this person mean the current NFA database, or the new expanded database? Cross-referencing to 4473s? I supect this weenie dickless wonder (see below) has never done inventory work, and has no freaking idea how long it’s going to take to digitize, sort, and cross-reference 50-plus years of records on hundreds of millions of firearms that have changed hands multiple times, often without going through an FFL. Not to mention locating more than five million reported lost and stolen guns in the wild.
5. Work with the major banks and credit card companies to purchase records pertaining to the private purchases of firearms to correlate with the 4473s as in step 4.
And now that job just got much, much, much bigger and complex. I wonder if o’ Taker is a global warming believer? ‘Cause the carbon contribution for power generation for all that computation will be significant. Hell, the heat from the computers doing the computation will be significant. Can’t wait to see them do this on Green Raw Deal wind gennies and solar panels.
But here’s where things get interesting. Up to now, all this assumes FFLs and gun-owning citizens would quietly and passively comply with this BS. I think that’s a little overly optimistic, and what they’re far more likely to see is malicious compliance, that simply makes the databasing and cross-referencing job impossible.
But Taker here just upped the ante. Instead of a relative few Heavily Armed, Noncompliant SOBs (HANSOB), who might merely passively resist…
6. Once a suitable period has passed to allow inconsistent records to be reconciled, use a combination of civil and criminal sanctions to encourage those who are illegally holding unregistered guns to turn them in. This can include: using bank KYC rules to restrict their financial transactions, use the no-fly list to prevent interstate and international travel, use e-verify to prevent employment and use the social security database to contact existing employers.
Doxx and destroy. Make life impossible. No money. No work. No travel.
No anything left to lose. It’s like this nihilistic nincompoop wants to start Hunting Season.
Thus the vast majority of firearms in private hands will be known and restricted within several months, the stragglers will be dealt with within several years, and within a generation guns will be out of private hands without repealing the Second Amendment or causing a large scale violent conflict.
Without conflict? I don’t think so.
Let’s look at a hypothetical southeast Georgia family. They’re generally low to middle class, without a lot of discretionary income; that is, they don’t have a lot of money to waste. They’re probably going to have at least one shotgun (around here, likely one shotgun per exterior door), a hunting rifle or two, and a pistol and an old revolver. If they wanted to comply with NFA registration, they’d have to find $800 to $1,400 dollars for the tax stamps. Ain’t happening.
But say they had the money. Taker has given them 90 days to get the stamps. it’s currently taking 160-380 days to to get a stamp… with just the current quantity of transferable NFA firearms. It’s impossible to comply with a 90 day deadline now. And when you increase the firearms being processed from a few hundred thousand to a few hundred million, the processing time will likewise increase a thousand-fold; you’re looking at as much as 35,000 days, almost a thousand years to get the stamp.
If it was just the folks who refused to comply, Taker would be staring down — very conservatively — 12,000,000 HANSOBs. Emphasis on the “heavily armed” part. Now it’s the better part of 120,000,000 people whom he/she/it/zir/fuzzy/whatsit has chosen to doxx and destroy.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.
I find “Take All The Guns’” Twitter handle ironic. Who exactly does this confiscative clown expect to do its dirty work? The police that the left is demonizing and defunding?
Maybe they’ll be following “Duke Nukem” Swalwell’s lead and use the military. Yeah; you know, the military that they’re also demonizing and neutering.
Where’s the irony in that? It’s that “Take All The Guns” itself isn’t going to step up and personally kick in millions of doors because the residents are well-armed:
Having a hard time going to sleep tonight because of all of the guns that I know are still out there in private hands.
Who will be brave and do something?
Hey! We just established one thing about TATG’s gender. Whatever it is, it doesn’t have any balls.
