My assumption is that if HPA passes into law (unlikely, it just isn't a priority for the GOP or Trump - I doubt it is on their ToDo list at all), then transfers between immediate family would be like any other "firearms" - at least in states where such transfers are allowed without an FFL being involved - like OR currently allows.Agree. Ideal scenario would be ownership of a gun that never went through an ffl (ie pre 2014 or whenever it was). But if it went through an ffl ever there is already documentation of the gun and who it belongs to. So further documentation of the same doesn't add much risk I think unless doing it under a new "permit" program. Permit program would be their primary list of recent firearms they can enforce against or confiscate. Fe if wa funds their existing yearly background check law and seeks to enforce it, where is the first place they would look? The formal WA state permit list.
Basically the further back you got the gun the more insulation there is. That's how it seems to me anyway. A trust for title 1 firearms is a document that no one sees except you. Unless of course you formally transfer guns to the trust via an ffl and I can see no reason whatsoever for doing that. That's how it seems to me anyway.
So yes, if HPA actually becomes law, then I would probably buy a number of suppressors - at least several .22 RF/CF rated, and several that would work on various pistolas, and some that would work on .30 caliber HP rifles (7.62x39, 7.62x51, et. al.). I might even get some for .44/.45 rifles. Certainly some for 9mm/.40 & .45 pistols. In short, I would probably need to hit my IRAs for some $
But I am not going to hold my breath - I don't think anything 2A is on their To Do list. AFAIK, nothing in the long list of executive orders from Trump so far has anything to do with the 2A. He is too busy tilting windmills trying to sell the ERS/et. al., which is a hill he is willing to die on, and probably will.
