A registered firearm is a firearm that can be confiscated.

That is why private sales are such a problem for the Socialist-Democrats.

That is why so many have traded off their registered weapons during Clinton, Obama and now Harris/Pelosi Admin.

NOTE:
With that said I would like to see a State controlled Data file on a public website. Which can be accessed anonymously, listing stolen weapon serial numbers. Thus making it harder to sell stolen weapons.

extra note: a Flat File, NOT a searchable database, which could/would track User Serial Number inquiries to an IP/MAC address.

#4 ^Can you make crossbow crossbow bolts?

I re-sprung my 1-ton into a 5 ton. Rides rough, but I don't have to make as many trips. So I ended up with 4 surplus sets of 1-ton leaf springs.

A nephew remarked, "that would make a nice crossbow", and so it has.
We can launch tposts nearly 80 yards with a 5ft CEP. No bolts required.
