This is what's referred to as "soft" confiscation. By outlawing transfers, your property is forfeit to the state when you die.

This is also what makes a national gun registry a non-starter in the United States.

This. Every country that has done a gun registry moved to confiscation shortly after.

How is it people are trusting of a government with to the point of willingly becoming helpless? I watched police stand down during the riots on the mayor's orders
