Re: Hand over your weapons
If something along the lines of a full on confiscation ever comes to pass, I will conveniently "forget" where all mine are.

Re: Hand over your weapons
The gun confiscation legislation was already written in Australia before the mass shooting there. The reason the confiscation happened so quickly and seamlessly is because they already had registration of all guns. They mounted a massive ad campaign to inform the relatively small percentage of gun owners in the country that they were going to go to jail if they didn't comply.
Australia did not have a gun culture. They don't have nearly as many guns or gun owners. They didn't do guns for self defense, even before the ban. Guns are tools for eliminating pests and predators in the countryside. They don't have a 2nd Amendment. They don't have an NRA or anything close to it, and they don't have any type of conservative watchdog media.
There are a dozen reasons why the Australia gun confiscation model would not work right now in the US. But the linchpin is and will always be universal licensing and registration with mandatory reporting for lost or stolen guns. If they can get that, then all of the pieces CAN come together for mass confiscation, but not until then.
And as others are saying, don't assume this assault on our rights will only come from the Democrats. Remember it was (R) Arlen Specter who was instrumental in allowing the Clinton AW Ban to get through the Senate.

Re: Hand over your weapons
"If you have what a lot of people want, you could rake in the dough".....Lucky Luciano in referring to alcoholic beverage in the dawn of Prohibition. The father of organized crime built his empire on an unpopular law based on the prohibiting the selling of alcoholic beverages. Any confiscation attempt would bring on another prohibition and resurrect organized crime and people like Lucky Luciano. This time though, it would be even more violent than in the 20s and even more difficult to enforce with fewer people complying.
The Boston article is a twisted dream of the emotional anti gun zealots who cannot or will not think of the consequences.
