I mean come on. All or most guns falling under the NFA provisions? What political accomplishment over the last 80 years would lead one to believe this kind of regulatory scheme is in the cards? I can't think of one.

If gun controllers couldn't accomplish this during the roughly 30 years between 1968 and the mid to late 1990s when public sentiment was more favorable to their cause...what in the Sam Dickens makes them think this is anything more than a pipe dream now?
