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.

Are the firearms they use on the job privately owned? ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #2
The poll question is a bit vague in any event. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #3
I mentioned "privately owned" in the text, but I will add your imput. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #5

Where are all the DUers who were wanting all guns banned and collected? n-t Logical Apr 2013 #20
Strange...... I think I only saw one such comment. nt rdharma Apr 2013 #21
They're cowering in their "safe haven," unwilling or unable to make convincing arguments in favor... slackmaster Apr 2013 #22
There are only a handful when it comes to handguns. A lot more when it comes to assault weapons. n hack89 Apr 2013 #29
Which is odd because handguns kill many more people. n-t Logical Apr 2013 #33

Including assault weapons? The present number in circulation is OK? hack89 Apr 2013 #30
I don't have guns to take, so I know no group of DUers will take my guns, ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #31
I don't support the confiscation of anything tularetom Apr 2013 #27
Not all but certainly the vast majority. bowens43 Apr 2013 #28
