Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you think it's likely that Feds will confiscate Semi autos?

J23,

You are 100% absolutely right on the money.

I don't think it would even be possible.

If it's registered it's possible, they'll lean your house.

Well in most states that would require going to each and every firearm dealer and getting the original copy of the 4473 and then tracking it down thru multiple owners once it left the original point of sale.

Good luck with that, any seizure or confiscation isn't going to last long at all. A few knocks on the wrong door and they'll get pretty skittish and rethink the entire thing quickly. It won't take many and don't tell me there aren't gun owners out there with nothing to lose.

Agreed

As a retired cop how many doors would you knock on an execute a warrant after a few of them started shooting back when you pulled up in the driveway? That's my point. It won't take many.

On a deep down level I would like to see them try and seize them. They might find out what the 2A was about to begin with then.

Do you think it's likely that Feds will confiscate Semi autos?

Again, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, nor am I suggesting I know everything.. but if you look at history, and you take a look at the current situation, it is hard to deny that, if not this go'round, but eventually, the forces of liberalism are going to win out and SOME sort of ban will be passed, restricting ownership to some degree [which of course will never be enough, each one of these anti-gun bills are nothing but a stepping stone to a gun free America.]

Historically, for goodness sake, look! Ask your friend Mr. Canadian how he likes shooting his handguns and his AR15's? Half of the British Police force aren't permitted to carry a sidearm.. and Australians lined up en mass to hand in their semi-autos.. and I'm sure if you could go back in time, there were discussions amongst them all that, "I'm not turning anything in!" or "Not here, they're afraid of a civil war, or being voted out of office!

As someone previously pointed out, I didn't see any large scale, or even small scale protests during the Clinton AWB? Most people complied, and if you look through the archives of most forums that were around during that ban, you will read posts such as guy's asking who makes the 'coolest looking compensator?' There isn't going to be any large scale riots or uprisings, at best, you will have a select few who resist through non compliance, and are imprisoned, or some kind of repeat of Ruby Ridge.

These liberals aren't afraid of anything. They have learned that the vast majority of this country don't care. The ones that do, assemble peacefully with their little signs and are belittled nationally by our liberal media. Our society is fed a diet of crap from the media, and our children are being indoctrinated into socialism every day in school, while you work so a healthy portion of your paycheck can support welfare drug addicts, people abusing SSI disability, people trading their food stamps for money and dope, and our government spending it on ridiculous budgets that none of us agree on. And we all take it, everyday, lying down. Ok, I'm not paying my taxes. Fine, the IRS will take everything you own, or ever will own, and lock you up for a healthy portion of your life. That's why no one 'resists' through noncompliance when it comes to taxes.

Again.. look at the way they shoved the stimulus, these bailouts, Obamacare, and all of these EPA regulations [most people don't even realize the damage the EPA has done in the past few years!!!] down our throats, as we gagged while trying to complain about it.. several weeks later, we were on to something else. Look at, most recently, this Fiscal Cliff ordeal. People complaining with enthusiasm.. I haven't seen the liberal big government spending crowds shaking in their boots. They are holding their ground, and holding it hard. They aren't budging, and they aren't going to budge on gun control legislation, just like they didn't budge on the bailouts, the stimulus, and Obamacare, where they freaking VOTED ON IT, SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT WAS IN IT!!!!

Liberals don't worry about being voted out of a liberal jurisdiction, in what is becoming a liberal country. Look at Feinstiein. Look at Harry Reid. Reelected each year without so much as a hiccup. Heck, look at OBAMA!!! On paper, it's hard to fathom how he got elected in the first election!!! BUT HE DID.

THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS DON'T CARE, OR THEY CARE FOR FIVE MINUTES THEN FORGET. These liberals know that, it's no secret, and that is how they are going to shove this piece of junk legislation up our rear ends, just as they have Obamacare, stimulus, the bailouts, the purchase of GM and Chrysler with our tax dollars, ect. It's gonna happen, and probably in 2013.

I don't own any AR's or such (yet) but do own semi auto shotguns. How likely is it that the government could take someone's semi's.

NathanL,

Please read this. I am trying to help you. If cops/national guard troops even remotely believe you pose a threat to their safety, you will not win. That, my friend, is a bankable fact. I was told by a former LAPD officer who was at he SLA shootout that another LAPD officer threw a road flare into the SLA's fortified house and burned them out. If I remember correctly, no SLA member lived. And they were very heavily armed. Cops do not die. Bad guys do.

I recently watched a Military Channel program on the British's SAS, the original special forces. They and Navy Seals are the epitome of special forces responding to deadly threats. The SAS has an incredible record of not losing. In fact, the SAS does not lose. When they are called in to action they do not take prisoners. They do not lose. How many SAS units do you think the British government would loan to Obama in order to effectuate confiscation?

If confiscation becomes law, my advice is to comply and then try to reverse it. If your response is to fight, your guns will be seized while your body is transported for autopsy.
