To be honest, I expect this to become even more of a thing. With the erosion of Roe v Wade and the supreme court signaling that it's deciding to pull back on any rights to privacy, blue states will fight back by adopting the same measures that were used to curtail abortion against gun owners. Texas provides an excellent blueprint for a way you can do so without violating someone's rights, and the court even signed off on it.
Nothing in the constitution signals you have a right to privacy as so decreed the court, so while you may have a right to own guns it can be made as public as the state wants with no recourse. In this scenario it's more pure incompetence, but that's the way I see it going down.

- parineum 4y ago> Nothing in the constitution signals you have a right to privacy as so decreed the court That's not true. There's a previous ruling that determines that "liberty" in the 14th amendment includes privacy for many things. Roe v Wade determined that abortion was one of those things. Overturning Roe doesn't overturn the precedent it was based on.
