re: BIDENS CRAZY GUN PROGRAM IS SCARY

There were discussions before the election; before the appointment of the most recent Supreme Court Justice, about expanding the total number of Justices. This is what was referred to as "packing the Court". Several in Congress openly called for it. So, you go from 9 to 11 or 13, or something along those lines, and appoint the ones you want so they vote the way you want.

There's no current law forbidding that.

There's no way they can logistically institute gun grabs in two years

probably true

and no, law enforcement is not going to just do as they're told and kick in citizens doors looking for legally owned forearms.

You can believe that if you want, and you can hope/pray you're right.

LEO's by nature of the job, tend not to care about other people's plights. Otherwise, think of all the sob stories that get told when you're getting a ticket... you usually get that ticket anyway. Those guys in Blue need to keep their jobs and income.

If you make something a felony, they're obligated to treat it as such. If you're suspected of running a meth lab or selling stolen goods, they have every right to come search your home and property once they get a warrant. There have been many raids for illegal firearms over the years.

"Suspicion"... that gets interesting. Go do an internet search of, say, Bobcat rentals, and see how many ads you get on that later. That's just the private companies, you know the Fed gov can and does track shite too. People posting here and other forums talking about it, people looking at Gunbroker or Buds, people ordering from SGammo or Targetsportsusa. Let's face it, most of us here have already been tagged.

I work with a bunch of LEO's , sheriff deputies, SPD, State Troopers, and none of them are even thinking about enforcement of such mandate. If you think otherwise then try to explain why Connecticut's version of these laws saw minimal compliance and zero LEO enforcement. If a bright blue state can't pull it off, forget about the red ones.

It all comes down to what actually gets put into place.

If it becomes a national, federal law, then things get iffy in a big hurry. We're not talking local or state, we're talking national.

If you combine owning federal contraband, and going on social media to make actively defiant and disobedient statements against the standing federal government, I suspect the pressure can and will be ratcheted up.

We live in a nation where you may have to flash an id to buy a can of Krylon spraypaint, and that's tolerated. If you don't think there would be efforts to enforce a law and that people (in general) would go along with it, then... good.

Best case scenario would be that you get left alone, but in return you better not display or use them publicly.

They will require a federal gun id card to buy ammo and to get the card you will have to declare your guns so the proper caliber will be allowed on your profile then the tax will roll in I hope you stocked up

I definitely think something like this takes place.

Remember how they added the "sin tax" to tobacco? You do that to ammo, and it serves several purposes-
1st, it makes ammo that much more expensive and a hassle to get.
2nd, and the sticking point: it adds to the tax revenue. The gov budget is going to be squeezed, and adding taxes is a surefire way to add revenue.

I don’t put my faith in SCOTUS. And the Dems are far more determined than they were in 1994. They are farther left than moderate Dems understand. “Gun grabs” are messy and unconstitutional. But incremental “gun restrictions” are easy. There are already plenty restrictions in place. They’ll add more and more. A de facto ban without being called such.

Sadly, I think the best we can hope for is a grandfather clause. I have seen the number tossed around a few times stating 16 million ARs in the US, give or take; and approx 400 million privately owned firearms of all types. That's a lot of potentially VERY unhappy people (although it didn't seem to make a difference in this election).

Ammo becomes a viable issue... for most of what I own, online is just a cheaper option (and perhaps better choice of brand).
But I do have at least one that's a specialty/boutique round. I suppose I could reload (which I'm now considering), but the issue of components remains as big as the issue of loaded ammo.

"'Member when Obama came and took errybodys' guns? I remember.

Never forget! We cannot go through that again!"

I remember when his bullshite healthcare plan made me pay triple on my insurance.

Don’t be fooled, when given the ability to wield power over people your local Leo’s will be more than happy to bash your skull in for those 30 round mags that “were lost in a boating accident.”

Bingo - we all saw this during the early COVID lockdown days. LEOs saying "I'm just following orders" as they are arresting a mother for taking her child to the park. Anyone who says LEOs would be "on our side" is delusional

Are people jumping your case? Yeah, they are.

But this is one of those times where it's probably warranted.

Saying "I didn't know anything about it" isn't an excuse, when the info is out there in plain sight.

I am in the thread trying to find out the specifics of the issue. I was simply at work and didn't have time to look up every detail right then. Several people had obviously read about it and I was trying to find out where they read about it. I don't think jumping my case for trying to learn more is warranted.
