We discussed the "loophole" aspects, and he agreed, but he went on to say that he is afraid that loophole will be closed after the fact, and anyone involved in the early purchases is going to have to deal with a lot of red tape.

This is in Louisiana, not one of the restricted states.

So, what are the various worst case scenarios involved here? I suppose anywhere from being grandfathered in, to having to surrender the gun without compensation... but that's just a guess on my part.
