"What if" - Gun Ban

[Militarypol21]

This is a "What if"..

Say the government decides to ban assault rifles for a period of 5 years. Say for instance you owned an AK. Would you have to get rid of the AK? What would you do with it? Or, is it once you already own one you can keep it but will be unable to purchase or sell one for that period of 5 years?

Just something that came to me. Now I know many of you are going to respond by saying "F*** the government, I'm still keeping mine". I'm asking those that want to play by the rules

I would have to tell the GOVERNMENT, that when you & I went fishing, your boat capsized & we lost every gun we own

Usually a gun ban is on the import or manufacture of a certain type of firearm. So I don't think they would have you turn in your rifle. But if they did, as the others have said, "What gun?" would be my response.

What AK? Traded it off years ago to a guy at a truck stop. Nope. Can't remember his name.

At some point they will make an effort to confiscate our guns. Not just the Assult or military type but all.
At that point you really have a SHTF moment.
there are few reasons I will ever say this but " When they pry it from my cold dead hands" is appropriate here.

As someone who did live in cities with gun bans, I'd do the same as I have done before.

Hide it in the walls of my residence and move it around in guitar cases.

That didn't happen in NEW ORLEANS when KATRINA hit

Hopefully they would "Grandfather" those already in posession of the public and ban further production and importation. If they just did a total ban like England or Australia by the time they got to my house mine would be long gone. Plus if anything like that were to ever happen I think there would be much more serious things to worry about in this country. Yamamoto had it right!

Funny you should mention that. Rep. Delaney introduced an amendment to SB506 last week that would have banned standard-capacity magazines and feeding devices with no grandfather clause. To quote another member from that thread, here's how they planned to enforce it:

Rep Eberhart (I think that was him again never seen/heard him before) whipped that butt of DeLaney! Love the part about "How are we going to collect all those illegal 10+ magazines". & DeLaney said just keep it at your house. Of which Eberhart says won't that still be illegal? & DeLaney looks like a deer looking at the oncoming car headlights.

"Just keep <that illegal magazine> at your house." Hide it and hope you don't get caught. That was his plan.

The amendment was defeated, by the way.

Oh, I'll not resist. They can have both of 'em from out of the old cabinet. I'll just be out back oiling the flowerbed...

^This. I hope nobody's dumb enough to try it.




Staying on topic, one would think they would be Grandfathered in and wouldn't try to make people turn them in. I don't think the latter would work well.
