The measure applies to any American veteran stationed outside the continental United States and who acquired a firearm in combat between June 26, 1934 and October 31, 1968.
And just how many of them actually knew about the amnesty in 68? We didn't have internet, few people even had phones at that point. So most communication was news paper or letters/magazines.My guess is that if they have kept them safely out of the governments eye since 68 during the last time this was done; they will probably still keep them safely out of the governments eye for the next few decades. Nice gesture, but merely symbolic at this point.
I don't think this would be a major victory, or even a slight one. This wouldn't be a penetration or even a dent in the 86 freeze. A hollow victory at best. I doubt this would see even 100 firearms be registered.Similar bills have been introduced in, at least, the last 4 or 5 Congresses. This would be a major victory if we could get it passed.
I'm guessing by register he means pay the "tax" and this would only apply to people of older wars since we are not currently allowed to keep "trophies"

It would be a victory and a battle won if just one more made it to the Registry.
