There have been three significant attempts to require gun registration in the United States.
The first attempt was during the regime of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). In the original bill, all handguns were to have been registered, with a $200 ($3,800 in today’s dollars) federal tax. The provision was defeated by the NRA. FDR got the booby prize of requiring registration of a few seldom used or owned firearms and accessories. The people were saddled with the ineffective National Firearms Act of 1934, which registered machine guns, short barreled shotguns and rifles, and silencers.

The second attempt at requiring gun registration started in 1968. Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) tried to pass a bill requiring all handguns to be registered. It was opposed by the NRA, and the registration requirement taken from the bill. As a compromise, Congress required gun dealers to obtain a federal license. Purchasers of guns from federally licensed dealers were required to fill out a form 4473 to take possession. Congress forbid the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms from constructing any national gun registration list from this data.

The third, ongoing, scheme was initiated in 1994. Congress passed the Brady bill, which required handgun purchasers to undergo an instant check or a five day wait to purchase a handgun. While parts of this act were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, a little known part of the bill went into effect in 1998, requiring all purchasers of firearms from licensed dealers to undergo an “instant check” before taking possession.

Two safeguards were built into the bill to insure it would not be used to develop a national registration of firearms. First, the FBI is forbidden to keep any records of instant checks that allow purchase. Second, the instant checks only applied to dealers, not to private sales. Since gun owners could sell their firearm without government permission, no registration list could effectively be developed. Effective gun confiscation was prevented.

Both of these safeguards have been under attack. The FBI refused to immediately destroy the instant check information, although required to do so by law. Their refusal was struck down in court.

One, the Communists don’t want background checks. Period. They want registration. Any guesses as to why?

A friend says he moved from CA to NC and bought a bunch of guns. His sibling, who works for some letter agency or other was called into a meeting and asked if they knew why he wanted all those guns. Think about it for a second.

Confiscation is coming, it's just a matter of time, if Trump loses 2020 or 2024 when a non conservative is elected, party doesn't matter.

The government already knows were most of the guns are.
When when this day comes, the losing strategy will be to hide and wait for them to come, to put your guns away, not carry them, not shoot them.

As much as we may not want to think about it, the winning strategy will require going on the offensive. They're, those that would be responsible for trying to take them, including all of law enforcement (which would only have a subset that is compliant for multiple reasons) are outnumbered thousands to one.
