A number of members are saying it's coming. Personally, I don't see it at this time.

But I don't, so I won't
When does that happen? Why does it have the timeline it does right now?
A careful thought through those questions might do a bit of calming.
Regardless of whether or not its happening. Its a complex process from a enforcement view. With what we have seen recently with certain failures. Confiscation would be a labor intensive program with much pushback and legal roI want fees to go ups.
What the government has learned is that they have deep pockets, and can draw out any court proceeding as long as they want. So if they seize the average man's guns, the average man would never be able to afford the legal fees in order to fight the seizure process to get them back. The feds have put large businesses out of business in this fashion. So I would not depend on legal process to help the common man.

Scary thought, but good point.

Oh if I had anything to turn in, I would absolutely turn them in.

This is what our President means by ?Take the guns first, have due process later?.
It would be fitting if Gorsuch casts the deciding vote against this crap.

Interesting to consider we had a Democrat POTUS in office for two terms and he never touched gun rights, gun control, messing with the 2nd Amendment, nothing. All the bogus hype was created in the minds of loud mouthed idiots, plain and simple.
Now our wonderful Republican POTUS that's been in office a single year and is already showing his true colors with gun rights, gun control, and messing with the 2nd Amendment. He will be a historic POTUS, the one that disarms America. Great choice folks, even better than Nixon. [;)]
Wait. Aren't the "Grown-ups in charge", now?
I seem to remember having read that on this board, somewhere.
I can't remember who said it. But he seemed real excited about it...
Molon labe!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Trump told DiFi to put her AWB in the new bill and she wet herself with glee.
The last time she got a vote on her AWB, 15 D's voted against it.
This is an election year.
Anyone? Anyone? Beuler?
Marc there is already confiscation occurring in some states under their mental health and protective order statutes. I think you will see individual confiscation increase. As they incorporate new mental health laws the threshold for determining someone is mentally defective will be lowered inorder to increase firearms confiscation. I doubt you will see any mass confiscation, but they will target firearms owners one at a time. And each firearms owner that resists that force with force will be a poster boy for reinforcing that gun owners are paranoid and violent. It will become a self fulling justification for more confiscation. Several states have developed firearms confiscations with little to no due process.
Catch 22,,, If you want to own a gun you're mentally ill, If you're mentally ill you can't own a gun.[:D]
If you're mentally ill,, ooops,, you'll get your gun(s) removed so you can't hurt yourself or others.
The Florida shooter was not only mentally ill he,
Threatened people (assault)
Held a gun to someone's head.(assault)
Murdered and mutilated animals.(sick, and a crime)
NO ONE filed charges,, so what do we do,, I KNOW,, wait till he kills someone or a lot of someones.
This is what I'd envision Trump was talking about,, take his guns, don't need to worry about 5th amendment,, he's was a sick criminal. Get the paper work done tomorrow.
Anyone here disagree with this example.?

A demoRat out defending due process.
Huh, I wonder if you could have a conversation about just what that means?
Now that a demoRat is suggesting it is necessary and all...
