On January 1, I become a criminal, for doing nothing

That is for the Judiciary to decide. I don't know how many Federal Judgeship's there are, but President Trump has put 80+ Originalists on the bench.

Because they are not confiscating the gun, but doing an aggressive registration of it. I think these things are immaterial in the end because of the paper trail created when you purchase a firearm. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/records-search-requests-rsrs

Liberty rests on two columns as I see it: 1.) the law; specifically, the Constitution; 2.) societal values; if voters don't place value on individual liberty, then they will not consider the issues of individual liberty when casting their votes and they will not hold government o the law. Courts are necessary and important, but if the people completely delegate interpretation of the Constitution to the courts, then we don't have a constitution anymore - we just have a court system that is run by an oligarchy situated at Supreme Court.

So it takes both the law and societal values. One without the other gives you mob rule and dumb decisions.

The one accident I have had while driving in the last 46 years, was not caused by alcohol, but there was an open container. What saved me that day was the women, who minutes later had the same problem with road conditions, as had caused my mishap, hit the investigating officer's cruiser. All thoughts of me were wiped from the officer's mind. My tow-truck was there and they let me go. If I had, had to stay a few minutes longer a DUI would have been mine as the effect of the alcohol crept over me. I have since quit drinking. I will call the police if I see someone obviously driving impaired, even though I spent many years quoting "Star Wars" whenever I saw a cop. We all know there's nothing worse than a reformed_______(fill in the blank)

If you could get definitive proof of that accusation it would be good. We know it's happening, but proof must be obtained.
