Let's pretend for a second that Obama does end up banning semi auto rifles... What next? I mean will they be knocking on doors to take them? Obviously they will ban the sale and trade.... but what about the ones in our safes and the ones we burry? How will they know and what do you think would happen?

I predict that secret police wearing all black dress uniforms with distinctive lighting bolt shaped double S markings will drag you and your family out of bed tonight, line you up against a wall and shoot you at 3AM tonight just for making such a suggestion on an evil right wing forum.

Obama can't do jack shit.
The 94 AWB passed by one vote with the democrats controlling both houses of congress and the presidency. It ain't gonna happen. |

Let's pretend for a second that threads like these stop for a week. How slow would it be in GD?

No new production and all the rest will be pre-bans until it is lifted again (if ever). |

I expect to have my guns "grandfathered in" in such a case. The government cannot simply ban them and go door-to-door.

Can we at least wait for something to be put on the table before we start freaking out?

Any other mil/leo guys get that brief about the door to door gun confiscation coming up? Man, I can't wait!

The Clinton 94' assault weapons ban didn't do shit besides annoy gun owners and increase the price on pre-ban weapons. It sounded like the government banned those evil weapons, but really all it did was make it so my rifles couldn't have flash hiders, bayonet lugs, folding stocks. At the end of the day we still had AR-15's and AK's without all the evil features. A crazy guy can shoot up a crowed area with a semi-auto sporting AR-15 just as easily as he could with an evil pre-ban AR-15. It's all retarded, but the public doesn't realize how pointless gun control really is. Don't worry the government will never try to confiscate our weapons.

If what you are asking really comes about.........yes, you will have to turn in your semi-auto firearms. If you don't you will get arrested by the police if they are ever discovered.

There won't be an AWB. Not only does he not have the votes in the house or senate (regardless of which party controls the senate), the Brady Campaign is starting to move away from pushing for one.
I could see a magazine limit pass, though. |

Guys, I assume he meant a law is passed banning semi-auto firearms. If that's the case, he should be more precise. Why? Because blame should be laid at the feet of those responsible. If such a statute were passed the members of Congress who voted in favor of it would be to blame. If people forget that, those members of Congress in effect get a pass. If they get a pass, they continue their mischief. |

Any future "BAN" on the possession of any type of firearm will be enforced selectively and incrementally. At first, there will be a few highly publicized busts of vocal and outspoken opponents which will cause many to capitulate and run to the authorities and surrender their contraband guns, ammo and mags (despite their previous on-line cheap talk of "Come And Get Them"). Most of the remaining gun owners will be forced to disassemble and bury or otherwise hide their contraband guns which is EXACTLY what the Government will want you to do. In this scenario, your guns are no longer easily accessible or useful and your skill-set will quickly degrade. On the other hand, you will keep your mouth shut regarding any criticism of the Government in fear of having your door kicked in at 3:00am in a "lawful search" for illegal arms. The authorities will conduct such raids periodically just to keep you in fear of receiving their attention and to illustrate to the sheeple just how necessary these violent tactics are in order to keep "machineguns and bazookas from flooding the streets". You will be paraded in front of the cameras, in the middle of the night, looking all stupid and crazy in your underwear and your bed-head hair and then the camera will pan the table displaying your evil arsenal (to include some drywall screws, gasoline cans and bottle-rockets) guarded by a "brave" black-clad thug wearing a a balaclava . A reporter will make comment about the armor-piercing/hollow-pointed/black-talon boo-lits loaded into a sixty-thousand round banana-clip for your Glock-47 with the shoulder-thingy that goes up for more thrusts per squeeze. Then a professional profiler will explain to the viewers that due to your small penis and obsession with guns, you were a "ticking time-bomb" just waiting for a school bus to drive too close to your lawn. The reporter will then confirm that there is indeed a school less than 6.73 miles from you house. This tactic will be repeated at the next location as deemed necessary.

Most citizens will just ignore it like last time, if someone wants to kill someone with a AR-15 no ban will prevent this.
The AR-15 is Americas rifle, it would be like banning apple pie and the Red White and Blue. There are more AR-15 type rifles in civilian hands than the Army and Marines combined. No law will stop a criminal, remember the Columbine massacre happened during the last ban. BTW law enforcement never enforced the last AWB anyways. Law enforcement will not go door to door as citizens will just rise up and overwhelm them. Also there is not enough soldiers and National guard to handle a full scale uprising, the government would have to call the UN for help. Due to this there will never be full blown gun confiscations in the US, people opened their eyes after Katrina. Free |

Really... "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here." |

I know he doesn't have the votes for it and saying a few feel good things to appease the masses and all, but I lived through the last one and hated it.
If it happens it will be a slow erosion of rights and could be like Australia. Common sense registration, then more common sense laws to protect the citizens and then once they have chipped away at ownership where it becomes less of a political liability, comes the outright ban of certain weapons. |

Don't worry...we will still be able to get bazookas at the gun show

These threads are getting old. It's about like asking what would happen if aliens attack the earth. Would they be friendly? Kill us all? Take our resources? Who knows. Hopefully there will not be another ban. If a new one is possibly passed (which I think is a very very small chance) who knows what it will contain.
