IMHO, if your going to own something Big Brother doesn't know about, I would suggest getting to know collectors of WW II vintage firearms. If purchased from a private party, the guns probably have never been registered anywhere. A .45 Colt is still one of the baddest MFs around and an M1 Carbine is actually a better weapon for urban home defense situations in populated areas than a .223.

I do have a question for some one knowledgable - what about when you check your firearm in with a gunsmith at a licensed shop. Do you have to get a Brady check to get your own gun back?
