It's an issue originally raised by hopolophobes. If they can't say that a
firearm is illegal, they want to make it so, regardless. Why else the severe
consequences for failing to register private property for future
confiscation?

For starters, even complete novices (like certain reporters) have shown how
easy it is: Almost no effort at all.

Maybe we really need a definition of what is a legal firearm, and what
isn't. Personally, I think the whole concept is a red herring. It isn't
objects that should be illegal, it is activities which infringe on the
rights and safety of others which should be illegal.
