Also, people saying ohh, no way will people give up their guns...they cant take peoples guns away...
Yeah, your weapons are registered (depending how you bought them I guess), and all they have to do is skim through the registry database and mail out a letter to all those with the guns, and say It is on record that you own X,Y, and Zyou have until (insert arbitrary date) to turn in your registered firearms. If you do not comply or do not prove you no longer own these guns, you will be charged with possessing X,Y, and Z, and charged with (insert new BS law youre breaking) which is a 5th degree Felony, and a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
Thats literally it. And on top of letters theyd have public service announcements on the TV, Radio, all across social media, so there wouldnt be any I missed the message leeway.
I was discussing this exact problem on reddit yesterday, and two people claimed that this happened (not sure what city/statepossibly NY) in their state, and they were forced to take their guns in, and forfeit them. They did not receive any compensation, no tax write off, no nothing. If youve got thousands of dollars invested into this hobby, youll be shit out of luck, unless the city or state this happens in decides to not be complete pieces of shit about it (if theyre pieces of shit and pass the law that is).
Just food for thought.
People will not turn in their guns willingly. It's a joke to believe millions of people could be prosecuted for that. ---
