You’re right Scott, you didn’t. You said “most”.

I think you’re wrong.

No offense, but I think I’m a bit more in touch with those that support the 2nd Amendment than you are.

But still, you say people would die. People die now because of guns in society. Is one form of dying better/worse than the other? At least in the gov’t taking guns scenario, there’s fewer and fewer guns available for hurting people.

If people are going to die because we have guns and people are going to die if we take them, I vote we take them because fewer and fewer people would die from them.

By analogy, I don’t expect everyone to turn their guns in even if it were made illegal. But when illegal guns are found, they’re confiscated and destroyed. I suppose part of your assumption is that no other AR-15s are being made to replace the destroyed ones. Eventually almost all the AR-15s are removed from society. As ammunition is used up, it’s not replaced, etc.

Would I support a door to door confiscation? No. I don’t think it’s feasible.

Not sure what this has to do with Ruby Ridge.

It’s a perfectly reasonable question.

If millions decided not to obey the law, what do you think should be done about it?

Disregard if it’s feasible or not. Again, we’re pretending. The government comes out tomorrow, says it’s illegal to own an AR-15, and citizens have to turn theirs in. People say “No!”

Now what?

It would appear from your reply that you would support a door-to-door confiscation.

Does Ruby Ridge ring a bell?

First, if millions said ‘no’, you’d have to ask Obama what should be done instead of me.

Second, I think, even if that’s what he wanted to do, he’d know it’s not feasible. You’d have to approach the problem in an entirely different way. You’d need a public education and public relations campaign. You’d have to get laws passed that made confiscation of the AR-15′s legal if a person was found to have one.

If you’re looking for me to say the army or national guard or police should do a house to house sweep, I’d have because that’s just not practical. I know some on the right (and maybe the left) fear that’s what Obama wants to do but it’s just not practical.

Still, have your “military grade” weapons destroyed if you’re not using them is probably a good idea. But as I’ve shown, you can’t turn them into the Virginia police with that intend as they have to turn around and sell them by law.
