I am watching the debates. Obama said he would like to get the guns used by our military off of the streets and supports some anti-gun legislation. My question is...if Obama passed an assault weapons ban, will I have to turn over my AR-15 to the ATF or something? Would I be compensated? What is the story?
Will I lose my AR-15?

I'm afraid the THR's crystal ball is offline at the moment.
There's really nothing to say until some legislation has actually been introduced.

No, our weapons are not the military weapons. Either way you would doubt you would lose your rifle. They both said automatic weapons, but who knows what they mean. The previous AWB did not outlaw the rifles that we had, but stopped new productions. Either way too many would oppose this no matter who ever put it on the table. We need to stick by our representatives and make our voices heard. Write,call, email your local and state representatives.

you should be grandfathered in IF such a law is passed. I think that the likely hood of having to turn in your AR 15 is quite slim even such a bill should pass. Sen Feinstein admited that during the previous AWB that the votes for outright confication weren't there. IIRC both Harry Reid and Johnn Boenher said any anti gun bill would be DOA under their watch.

As long as we control one house of government we are good to go. But! It all boils down to the local level. Electing people who support us is key to maintaining our rights. That means each and every one of us must be actively involved regardless of party

I hope I am right that we have enough pro-gun reps. to stop any AWB from seeing daylight, but I will not let my guard down.

Queen of Thunder has it right. This isn't about a party is is about a natural born right. We need to stand strong as gun owners, not as Republicans,Democrats or Independents.. We need to be PRO...

Romney has actually signed an AWB in Mass.

the question title should read "Will I lose my Ak-47?"
since this was the only gun called out by name.

The point Jorg was making is that, right now there are no answers to the questions you put forth. Only speculation and hearsay. Neither of those do us any good.
