I relish the idea of the feds knowing of an ever increasing segment of the population going through the hassle of owning a Title II arms. The original intent of a $200 tax stamp was to be cost prohibitive and to discourage ownership of a class of weapons that at the time were considered dangerous. Like AC said everyday joe buying these is a good thing.

As to bans, I would suggest that if you ever feel a need to be burying your firearms, that is exactly the time you should be digging them up.
