Portland use to be nice city, their problem are self created. If Cops were allowed to do their jobs, problem would go away.

Your point? Actually illustrates my point. If it's made illegal I can't use them anyway, so why do I care if the gov knows I have guns.
Ever get a tax stamp for a suppressor?
Ever get a stamp for a full auto?
Ever fill out a multiple handgun purchase form?
Have a CCW?
Ever internet ammo buy?
Ever order gun parts from Brownells, or perhaps Midway or any of the others?
Ever internet order holsters?
Ever join the NRA, the GOA, Second Amendment groups?
Answer yes to more than one of these questions and you are not "ON" the list.... You "ARE" the list.

I guess my point is.... if they want you, they can get you.
Realistically, why would they waste their time bothering honest people.
They can't control the Crips, the Bloods, MS-13, Hells Angels and the rest.
Why divert resources to harass otherwise good people.

They have no desire to control criminals, they have a great desire to control YOU.

Forget all the conventional gun laws that we enjoy, They will all be destroyed very soon. buying a handgun would be as tedious as buying a house soon enough.

My point is that we're working our way to less and less useful firearms that are legal to own. What you are allowed today many not be allowed tomorrow.
It sounds like you don't want to do anything to prevent the erosion of what guns are legal. That's certainly your choice to make. But if you think your current guns are never going to be touched, consider Australia's experience since 1996. They went from banning 'assault rifles' to semi-automatic anything rifles then to lever guns. Now they have banned more guns including some 22lr handguns.

Where did I say any of that? I've been an advocate for gun rights for over 40 yrs and fought to get CC in my state.
My point was if it's illegal I can't use it, so it does me no good. That is it and that is all. And what do you mean by less useful, my bolt action rifles, revolvers, shotguns and my Glock pistols are pretty useful to me.
As far as Australia, there semi auto rifle ban was 24 yrs ago. Today they can still get pretty much everything else. Albeit with greater restrictions, but they don't even have a 2nd Amendment. There is actually more firearms in circulation now than 24 yrs ago.

I don’t know how much damage the Dems can inflict on our firearms rights but I take solace in two things. First, the Second Amendment which still appears to have SCOTUS backing. Second, the Canadians tried long arm registry, wasted millions of dollars and abandoned it after it was apparent that it was an abject failure.
With over 300 million people and over 400 million guns, how does this go forward here, especially with a group that has historically resisted tyrannical rules? That said,“ the price of freedom is eternal vigilance“-Thomas Jefferson

I think people should chill, as I do not see American's giving up guns. Law Enforcement is already over work, are they going to stop answering calls?
I thought Donald J. Trump would win the 2020 election, and that did not happen did it, (They) will come for your guns, and (They) will come for you.
The Military can be ordered to lend a hand too you know.

Let's see - prisons are already overcrowded yet the democrats want to make instant felons out of tens of millions of law abiding citizens. Oh yeah, and defund the police. And more than 75 million Americans supposedly voted for this? What is happening to this country?

Generally speaking wouldn't it make sense that if you have a carry permit that you would own firearms?
