Self Fulfilling

I wonder of Joe Biden's "40% of guns sales are done without background checks" canard is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Look, we know the bad guys want it all.  Ban all guns, and round up the ones already in private hands.  We know that is true, with DiFi and others.  They let the mask slip.

Well, a rational gun owner, even NEW gun owner, will want to get while the gettin's good.  More folks will be looking to get an off books gun before they get another bite of the apple.  So now the false statistic of 40% might even get close to coming true.  You don't have to bury your off-books gun until they start a round up.  After the first 10 confiscations, then is the time to bury one of them.  One of them.  You need to have another for just-in-case situations.  So now there is motivation for more than one off-books gun.  And now.

I know some gunnies will think like this.  And I can't blame them.  No one wants to jeopardize their families safety.  Not while it is perfectly legal now and even if something horrible passes there is a half chance that their off book guns will get grandfathered in.
