In reply to the discussion: Do you support the confiscation of all currently legal firearms? [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)9. Oh yes much better, thanks.
My votes the same.
What a bunch of potential problems tho.
Never minding for now the near impossibility that they can all be collected even over decades, and that garage use of machine tools won't result in a black market source, and that the borders will have to be very very tightly managed....
I can imagine how dangerous it would be for police who would become targets for theft.
I just, of course, will never happen. We'll be climate change victims before that can be accomplished.
Good poll, interesting to see.
You should post in the gun control forum, too. I don't see how it would violate the SOP of that group.

I don't support gun confiscation, but I felt that police officers, etc., should be exempt

No. Only flaming kooks support confiscation of legally owned firearms, or of anything else.

They're cowering in their "safe haven," unwilling or unable to make convincing arguments in favor...

There are only a handful when it comes to handguns. A lot more when it comes to assault weapons. n

don't think of it as confiscation-think of it as mandatory voluntary surrender
