I see your point but this issue deserves a stronger response from citizens - just to suggest such an indiscriminate confiscation of property, without even a grandfathering or payment, and with the 2nd Amendment out there - this is bad. These are legislators.

They should be immediately recalled and booted out of office.

You can try and come and get it. Malon Labe.

Who are the guys that are coming to take them?

They are going to come and get it eventually one day. Even if they have to pry it out of your cold, dead hands. That bumper sticker isn't scaring these guys off.

You know how this goes down right? They actually do go for a grab, society starts breaking down a bit as some citizens get rolled up, others hide everything, people wonder who they can trust, law enforcement personnel are told to do their job or go to jail themselves so they reluctantly do it.

And then you'll be standing around with your thumb up your arse. You'll try to act like the good citizen and do your rah rah cheer for gun grabbing thinking the police will see you as a good guy. All of a sudden you'll be the unarmed guy around a bunch of gun owners, and none of them trust you. Then Phred from Wild West Alaska shows up to secure your cooperation.




And immediately you'll wish you had a gun.

My .45 holds 12, are they saying that it would fall under the assault weapon category?

I have yet to meet a cop or serviceman who would go after any citizenry's arms.

Every one I've talked to say it's not gonna happen. It would be suicide. That's what they all say.

People have thought through this numerous times, done surveys etc. It would never be so simple as you'd like to think.
