I wish that were the case, but I am afraid that if the Supreme Court gets Obama appointees, the constitution won't mean that much. We have seen what activist judges have done in the past. All too often the judiciary has interpreted constitutional intent counter to what the constitution actually means.
We'll see when McDonald v. Chicago ruling comes down in June. :thumbs2:

To beat this you take a baseball cap and cover it with tin foil inside and out. You crumple up some more foil and make two antennae that stick up like horns. These are the ray foiling reflectors. The ray will not affect you and instead will be reflected back. "rlol"
Ok Scott, that does it. I'm going out to the garage to make my tin foil hat after I buy my 1 way ticket to Tahiti. :smilelol5:

What if they expand the (existing, right now) National Firearms Registry to include all firearms? And then expand the 1986 ban on manufacture?
Move to Tahiti? :mrgreen:

Seriously though, we can "what if" infinite scenarios. The question is "is it likely to happen?" My bet is no it won't. And I assume you are referring to the NFA as the "national firearms registry".

First of all I don't think the government has the ability to "outlaw" guns. It's in the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. In order to "outlaw" or ban guns, the 2nd would have to be repealed, and that would involve a new amendment repealing the 2nd. And that would require ratification by 2/3 of the state legislatures.
