We’re looking at a compliance of 31% using the governments woefully under counted number. The real compliance rate of 4% or 2% depending on the real number of affected firearms.
5 u/Golanthanatos Mar 20 '26 So assuming these are all restricted that auto declared, or people had no choice, is that even all of them? 18 u/Disastrous-Panic-87 Mar 20 '26 Not even close. There are over 105 000 formerly known registered restricted firearms. And that was before they banned many non-restricted firearms. 3 u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Mar 20 '26 Far from it. Nationally, this is still less than half of the lowball projection of around 140k firearms. 1 u/Apples_and_Overtones Your feet suck and so do you Mar 20 '26 IIRC how it works is that it'll "auto declare" the restricteds but doesn't submit anything. That is up to the user.
