People aren’t buying semi-autos just to hand them over.

    No competent person would spend $1,200 or more on a rifle to hand it over or register it to be taken at a later date or worse “sell it back” for a lesser amount than they bought it. These weapons flying off the shelves will be “lost”.

    And good luck proving whatever BS story they say for why they don’t have the gun the gun store form says they bought (if you try that sneaky route). Private sales don’t have to be recorded in most of the country.

    Biden Gun Control Team:

    “So you are saying that expensive gun the records say you purchased just a few months ago was sold? Can you prove that?”

    Response:

    “Nope. There was no law that said I needed to keep a record. I do not recall (LOL, thank you Jeff Sessions) who, where or when. Womp Womp. Good luck on your disarming now.”

    There have been federal gun bans and state gun bans (see “assault” weapons bans) in the US and not once has anyone come to take away existing owned “assault” weapons.
    They may ban certain types of guns but there will never be an outright gun ban (as in all guns) in my lifetime.

    Those bans make it illegal to sell or transfer those firearms. What happened when the owners of these guns pass away?

    They get handed down like when my dad passed my brother and I got his guns. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    I wish. These firearms cannot be legally transferred. They are confiscated unless your children happen to be law enforcement.

    Sure, they'll never ban black powder smoothbore muskets, so we can still 'bear arms'...

    The reality is the only thing preventing mass confiscation is the high number of arms that would be employed to resist said confiscation. If we tolerate this slow 'pecking to death' of our right to bear arms, eventually they will feel confident in the success of door-to-door style enforced disarmament. The constitution will not prevent this. Only our willingness and ability to resist it prevents it.

    Like there's not a single Democrat who owns an evil AR platform, nor a single Democrat who hunts, nor a single Democrat who makes their living in the multi-billion dollar firearms industry, yet they vote for these morons knowing full well they'd snuff the Second Amendment in a micro-second if they could get away with it. Go figure, maybe they think because they vote Democrat they'll be exempted. :no:

    Who specifically is talking about mass confiscation of guns in the US? I mean someone who’s a legislator. And how do they do this given the 2nd amendment?

    No one of note, yet. But that is the innevitable conclusion to ever increasing restrictions. If you disagree, then describe at what point you think folks will say 'OK, this is the proper amount of gun control, we shouldn't go any further'.

    That’s quite a leap you’re making. You say “no one of note” is looking to confiscate all guns yet despite that you believe the logical conclusion is it will happen? Sorry, but that is far from a logical conclusion. We have a right to bear arm, see 2A, so unless that is abolished then how can govt take away all our guns? The answer is they can’t. You’re worrying about a problem that doesn’t exist. You must have an ulcer to end all ulcers with that kind of worrying. I live in MA where they banned “assault” weapons and everyone who owned an “assault” weapon prior to the ban still LEGALLY owns them. No confiscation of currently owned weapons took place.
    While the anti-gunners will try to ban the “assault” weapons and try to limit mags, no one is coming to take all of our weapons.

    Thx for ignoring the bulk of the post you replied to...

    Can you describe at what point you think folks will say 'OK, this is the proper amount of gun control, we shouldn't go any further'?

    Why did you feel the need to lie? I addressed your claim about confiscation and I stated what I believe anti-gunners will keep doing and that it will not lead to confiscation of guns. Just because you’re in a pissy mood because I’m not jumping up and down screaming bloody murder with you doesn’t mean you can lie. Grow the f up.

    Are you saying you think ppl will be happy with gun controls that just stop short of confiscation? If so, that would include 'ban everything, just don't take what ppl already have...' Do you think thats in line with the 2A?

    What people are happy with and what people can do are far different things. There will always be people who would like all guns to magically disappear. So there will be people who aren’t happy with gun controls that don’t include confiscation. So what? Let them be unhappy. There ain’t crap they can do about it.

    I never get a meaningful answer.

    There's people used to say 'they'll never ban semi-autos because of the 2A'... next it'll be 'they'll never ban revolvers because of the 2A'... it seems safest to me to presume that anyone who won't commit to how much is enough seeks to just ban everything. And theres a lot of them. The Constitution is just a piece of paper unless we're willing to fight for whats written on it.

    I’ll leave you to worry yourself to death. I’ll be over here enjoying life. Good luck.

    I find preparing to be more effective than worrying.

    I suppose I have fire extinguishers and smoke alarms because I 'FEAR' fire... that seems an odd way to look at it, but true, I guess, in a way...

    You say that like law-abiding gun owners have no reason to fear for their right to own and use a firearm.
