Mandatory Gun Buyback

that's why it's so important to fight against registration and permitting laws

the only registration should be that I buy the gun with background check at a dealer and that's it.

it's none of the state/federal governments business to know what weapons I own.

Guess what: once they know who owns what guns - the step to confiscation is easy. especially when they changed the laws so you cannot sell without a dealer/transfer and you didn't report any guns lost or stolen....

Upset that the audio was cut off before his response to "non-gun options."

As a lower NY resident, I wonder what my response to a push for NY to be a poster child for Mr. Cuomo's plans would be in the case of actual legislation being passed. At very worst I would hand my guns over to an out of state friend. Can only wait to see what he actually attempts.

There is also the chance that independent states can refuse to comply with any mandate from the Federal Govt. We already see this starting to happen with Obamacare.

One thing you need to understand, these politicans can create laws pretty much to do anything they want... except laws that have an appreciable effect on crime without severely encombering the law abiding gun owner (shall not be infringed).

A buy back would probably bridge the issue of confiscation (vs grandfathering).

If this happens, it is the beginning of the end of practical gun ownership in the USA for the common man. This would reshape the country into a European style socialist state along with all the other changes that are being implemented.

Of course, these laws would likely be challenged in court and most likely make their way to the Supreme Court. But by that time the damage is done and there is a good chance that the social tilt (liberal versus conservative) of the court may be altered.

I suspect many firearms would not be turned in regardless of compensation and I suspect enforcement would be most difficult and often dangerous.

If legislation of this nature comes to pass, I'm getting rid of my firearms. Then I can just talk about the "good old days".

You wonder why we need remote controlled aircraft for police agencies?

I think 22rimfire has a pretty good grasp on how this could happen. Remember, it is not really guns that these people hate and want to control...it is gun owners. We are a radical, dangerous breed that needs to be controlled, for our own good and for the welfare of the people in general. Regardless of the ultimate outcome in the court--and that would take several years, during which time Obama will have appointed at least two new anti gun justices, so the outcome is virtually certain--the initial impact of the law would be total disruption and destruction of the semi-auto rifle manufacturing and importing industry.

Consider how many small AR-15 manufacturers there are. Here in Houston, there are at least six that I know of. Move up to the next level and you have companies like DMPS, Windham, and others that will likely go out of business. As to imports, if there is anyone whose sole business is AK's, well...we'll see you at the bankruptcy hearing. Of course, the companies like Magpul, whose business is primarily accessories for TFKBLAAW (The Firearms Known By Liberals As Assault Weapons), will fall onto hard times and then go out of business.

Then you have the hi-cap handgun mags--you know, the things that make 9mm a viable defense round, and that's how the military justifies carrying Berettas. Wow. A Glock 17 with a 10-round mag. What's the point?

And don't think the libs would hesitate for force a generous buy back. Many here talk about "pry from my cold dead hand", but the fact is, we are law abiding citizens, and the prospect of arrest and prison is enough for us to obey the law. Besides, you know how the libs like to spend our money, so they'll be fair about it, and we'll get a small premium over the original purchase price. Plus, some enterprising individuals (as happened in Australia), will scour the landscape for every junk AR or AK they can find to make a quick profit.

Confiscation would be just a little too illegal, but mandatory buy back? I can see it. In fact, I'm thinking of how to practically deal with it. Hmmm. I see a new thread.
