They wouldn't need to confiscate them to make it a problem to carry or use them.Originally Posted by FPS
If the government tried to confiscate semi-autos, I would expect a civil war. I mean really, can you see Texas complying?
We know from Australia that only a minority percentage of known guns were turned in, but taking them out and using them becomes problematic.
Tag me for interest for a thread split re: government ban on semi-autos yet still allowing revolvers. I'm genuinely curious.
We've discussed this before. There would be no door to door confiscations - that would be ridiculous. It would be an attrition strategy, As malamute mentioned, that would put a damper on using, shooting, carrying, hunting with your semi autos.If the government tried to confiscate semi-autos, I would expect a civil war.

Me too. Of course, if the antis can target scoped bolt action hunting rifles as "sniper rifles " they could target revolvers as "the choice of criminals "because they don't leave brass casings on crime scenes.
The antis will try to divide and conquer with a series of small steps leading to their ultimate goal as they always have.

Just got back from California. There at an LE shooting event with a bunch of gun guy and gal cops. They are fairly certain the ban on magazines and eventually the goal of a requirement for a DOJ permit to POSESS ammunition by the liberals there will pass.

Can someone clarify something for me: Is it not currently the case that possession (as opposed to buy/sell/import) is basically not a criminal offense? Which means if you don't get caught at the border and don't admit to moving them in to CA they're just confiscated as a nuisance or something. TBH I'm surprised a full mag ban with criminal penalties hasn't already happened. The whole "no legal business, but no meaningful effort to stop the sieve of the CA border" always seemed kind of half-assed even for the CA legislature.
The DOJ permit to possess ammo...people think that will pass? That seems like a long shot, even for CA. Hell, NY hasn't done that yet. Lately they're a better bellweather for dumbass gun law than CA...
Everyone I talked to thinks all the gun control that goes to a general election vote will pass. The problem in California is there are laws, and then there are rules and opinions. It is all very vague and most officers and others don't understand the technical side and prosecute based on wrong info.

More and more, the idea of going back to California seems more like entering an unfriendly, not-very-safe foreign country than entering one of the most beautiful of the United States.
It kind of makes me mad. Some of the best memories of my youth were road trips to Cali to go to the Bay Area, LA, Disneyland, the beaches, the redwoods. And I had a great time when I was stationed at Ft Ord. Running on the beach every day for PT? Yes, please! Especially in the summers when the girls were out ...
Nonsense; that will never happen, according to many forumites. How dare you spread fear and rumor???
