[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2801143, member: 9374"] Ok my point in it is this... you have a lower, one you presumably filled out a 4473 for. If you didn't, you either milled it or got it used and there's no worry of anyone ever showing up to trace it, right? So... if you trade your 4473'd lower off, and it gets used in a crime or is in some way involved in an investigation, then they will come to you and ask where it is, and you tell them you got rid of it years ago. Perfectly legal. Ok. But.... if you KEEP your 4473'd lower, what are the odds it's ever going to be used in a crime? Only if YOU commit the crime AND the gun is found and traced back to you. Ok. So... why do you want to get rid of the lower "attached" to your name? In my way of thinking, I'm going to be much more effective in making certain that lower is NEVER used inappropriately, thus giving me a DRASTICALLY lower chance of the Feds ever showing up looking for THAT gun. Of course, if you don't want the .gov to know you have ANY firearms, this most assuredly isn't the way to go about it... you'd need to avoid ever purchasing a new firearm and EVER filling out a 4473. If you're doing this to avoid any confiscation attempts in the future (as opposed to doing this for the purpose of foiling tracing a SN), you'd have to go to a lot more lengths, as I said. I'm not against this, and I don't care if anyone else does it - except that from a distance, it appears to be totally geared at fouling up the tracing attempts of law enforcement trying to solve a crime, while doing NOTHING to help reduce the attempts at confiscation. Bad press, IMO. Jus' sayin'. [/QUOTE]
