Looming weapons ban. Trust loophole?

So not my ideal but does this sound like it could work? I guess it depends on what the final draft of the law will look like. I know this is common for class 3 items. The following is his suggestion.

"I suggest that you create an individual REVOCABLE TRUST for EACH FIREARM you own and assign ownership of a firearm into the given trust. This means each trust you create will own ONE firearm. If you have 10 firearms, you have 10 trusts. You can also assign ammo into the trust if you like.

They can even be named in numbered order:

OK Coral Firearms #1 Revocable Trust
OK Coral Firearms #2 Revocable Trust
OK Coral Firearms #3 Revocable Trust

...etc

You will need at least one Trustee (you) and a beneficiary.

Trusts cost NOTHING to form (unlike filing a LLC or corporation) and do NOT have to be part of any public record. To establish the date the trust was created so it can not be disputed later make sure your signature is NOTARIZED when you form the trust.

Now... once you do this you no longer technically own the firearm, the trust does. This means that if you wish to transfer that trust to anyone else in the future you simply add a Trustee to the trust and then you can resign from the trust. That is not a transfer or sale of the firearm.

The new trustee now has control of the trust, and the firearm, and no "transfer" has taken place.

Do this BEFORE it is signed into law, if it looks like that is going to happen. I predict it will happen.

You are welcome."

I will simply say no when they come. What few I have left (after selling off most of my collection and buying guitars) were purchased lawfully, owned lawfully and used lawfully and will continue to be.

Sign on the door "Don't start nutn, won't be nutn."

Do you want to explain that to the cops running the gun sale sting as they're slapping the cuffs on you in the parking lot? I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on that one. And remember that the new "responsible party" stuff that got dumped on NFA corps and trusts was a ruling, not a law, and wouldn't take long to get administratively forced on us.

Meanwhile, 3D printer go BRRRR...
