if a law is passed that bans certain guns or all guns are the guns that were already bought legally be grandfathered in? I know this is hard to answer but if it ever came to that what do you think?

It all depends on what the legislation says.
If the hypothetical bill calls for your AR15 of any make\model\year of manufacturedto be confiscated, somebody in the law enforcement community will be willing to execute that order. Its just a matter of if that bill can be passed. |

This is true. The only reason I'm awake now is that I'm in Maui.
To get back on topic: bans in the past have typically began with registration and yes, have typically included grandfathering, initially. This is not necessarily a reasonable prediction of a hypothetical future. I prefer to think we have things moving in the right direction and will not be facing any new bans at the federal level. |

Historically, when guns have been banned\confiscated was the next big event
the replacing of a government or was it the slaughter of dissidents?

Didn't the people in CA have to turn in all Evil looking guns ?
Or did they allow them to be grandfathered ? For a long time I have felt it is only a matter of time with all guns.

Those that registerd them were allowed to keep them. but once they die, they have to leave the state or be destroyed.... |

Yeah, i wonder what happened to the assault rifles in Cali before the ban... I hope they got grandfathered.
Anyway, if firearms are banned, there are still other options... and if have nightmares about losing firearms in America, you're worrying too much. Guns are such a big part of the American Cultural identity, and thanks to people here, the NRA, and every teenager in a grown man's body guns will not be banned on a national level. Military style "evil looking" rifles however... will need a bit more protection |

Yep, I bitched out and registered mine so I'm allowed to keep them. Pretty sad. Even sadder, I'm going to have to do it again for my 50BMG receivers in the next six months. I figure'd if I wanted to shoot them at public ranges without being harassed I better register them and if they ever come looking to get them, they'll be long "lost". Relatives supposedly can get permits to keep'em after my death but I hear those are pretty damn few and far between. |

Half assed compliance with registration is your only real answer unfortunately. Have 5 ARs register 1 or 2 hide the other lowers so you can shoot at ranges or whatever. The others are keepers after they come take your registered lowers. You will have to use caution at that point and make sure nobody else knows you've got them.
Remember the wife you trust now is the girl that will hand you over when the divorce papers start. Remember what fineswine said, if she could have gotten the votes it would be "mr and mrs america turn them all over" or something to that effect. If you register them you can expect to lose them. If you dont register them you may be subject to prosecution. Weigh it out and see what's important to you. Nobody ever wins a shootout with the .gov  That's not even a realistic option for anybody that doesnt keep a spare tinfoil hat around. |

Nobody is going to ever try to ban "guns". They'll ban AR15s, then they'll ban sniper rifles, then they'll ban hicap handguns, then they'll ban revolvers, then they'll ban repeating rifles, then they'll ban single shots, then they'll finally go after the shotguns, then BB guns, then airsoft.
The opponents have figured out that you can't go straight to the end, you have to go very gradually. Toss a lobster in a pot of boiling water, it'll try to get out. Drop it in some cool water, and slowly heat it to death, it won't even notice. |

Confiscation won't happen. To big. To dangerous.
Make everything illegal. Make gun possession a 10 year prison crime. Give people an amnesty period to turn them in willingly. All ranges will have to close obviously. Anyone found with a gun gets arrested when they are found with it. Most gun owners would cower and turn in all their registered stuff out of fear and bury their other stuff. And life would continue. 20 years down the road most all guns would be either buried and forgotten, or discovered by the cops on people or in homes searched for other reasons and life would continue in a gun free crime free utopia.  |

Remember, registration and grandfathering are only "temporary" steps, to pacify those that would object. The goal is to eventually get them all.
Later, when they have reduced gunowners to managable levels, where they think they can achieve confiscation, they will. Then there are no restrictions on what a government may and can do to you and your family. |

No total gun ban will ever be enacted in the USA. The govt cannot pass legislation that supercedes the Bill of Rights.

they are getting rid of civilian gun ownership. all you gotta do is go state to state, small bans, with grandfather clauses. as the people die off, the problem solves itself as nobody can take their weapons afterwards. |

If they ever get gun prohibition to happen, the goverment will create an enviroment for smugglers to start bringing in all kinds of illegal weapons from other countries...especially ex-soviet countries.
Communist countries would also be eager to fill criminal hands with weaponry. You know, the whole "destroy from within" theory that their American liberal allies really want, but will never admit to it. Can you imagine the kind of firearms that will be readily available to criminals then? The goverment has no intentions to fix our borders now, do you really think they can stop cargo containers of full-auto rifles? Maybe RPG or 2 tossed in every shipment? We'll be just like Austraila...only the criminal element and the LEO's will be armed then. Anyway, that's just my theory. Scott |
