Re: The 2009 AWB, planning ahead?
While I agree that an AWB is likely in the future, and I don't agree with it, I don't believe it will be retroactive. Making it retroactive would mean government confiscation of privately owned property (the guns themselves) without probable cause, on a scale never before seen in the US, and would constitute a gross violation of 4th Amendment Rights.
