Through legal means, either constitutional convention or court decree, the 2nd is repealed





At some point in the future the government has instituted gun registration policy so they know who owns how many weapons and where they are. Through legal means ownership of guns has been made illegal in the hands of average citizens, and the government intends to force collection of all registered guns under penalty of prosecution. How would you react?

What if there was a middle ground where only semi-automatic/burst/full-auto had to be turned over and not say double barrels or bolt actions?

It doesn't have to be either every kind of gun is a right or no gun is a right. That's a false dichotomy.

But to answer this silly hypo I'd be unhappy about it but I'd go along with it.

I'm really not worried about a tyrant situation. If the president put the entire country on martial law I'm pretty sure he'd be booted out in a heartbeat. We live in a world now with easy access to information. The military won't just do anything and everything the president wants. Hell a lot of the people who are paranoid about a tyrannical government are in the military.

Petition governors to start secessions and prepare for war. Anyone who thinks that the government disarming its citizens so they can't protect themselves is a good idea is completely naive.

For the sake of this topic, its all guns.

By the way, I own a WW2 era Mosin Nagant bolt action rifle that is considered an assault weapon and banned in some states due to it being equipped with a bayonet stock.

My bet is most would talk a big game then just hand them over peacefully. The fear drives some people to need them will also make them passive, despite what they say now.

I dunno. I hear Mars is nice this time of year.

Surely there's a country out there which will still let you arm yourself with a bow, or a spear, or a dang stick, all of which classify as weapons.

When you make a list of guns, owners and locations, you bet your ass they're going to use them.

Also, they're only registered if you provide your social security during the background check.

Cut the conspiracy crap. You're on more lists than you can count anyways. I fail to see why people with weapons shouldn't be.

I'm completely against confiscation, mind you, but a registry? No problem.

So, to exercise my right to defend myself, I must give up my right to privacy?

It's not considered an assault weapon anywhere because it's a bolt action rifle.

It's not considered an assault weapon anywhere because it's a bolt action rifle.

Every US assault weapons ban also bans the Mosin Nagant because it's 'capable' of accepting a myriad of cosmetic features, such as the aforementioned bayonet lug.

Learn a bit about gun control policies before speaking.

You're not giving up any kind of privacy. Do you do personal things with a gun that you don't feel comfortable with people knowing? I really don't see the issue here with guns being registered. It's different than being concerned with surveillance or personal data.

It's the same fucking thing. What right do you or the government have to be able to google me and see what I own?

Do you seriously believe a list of all items and their respective owners won't be used to track them down? You realize Nazi Germany says otherwise, particularity when they used their census data to assist them.

Because gun ownership shouldnt be public knowledge. The fact that I own guns shouldnt show up in my background check when I go apply for a teaching job. With the current stigma associated with firearm ownership being perpetrated by the left wed be treated like registered sex offenders. Fuck that shit.

Apparently you don't - those are only necessary if I drive on public roadways. There is absolutely no legal requirement for any of that if the car stays on my property.

We're arguing about something akin to needing to register a car even if it never leaves my garage.

And they abuse that to no end. In 2014 alone, law enforcement in Minnesota illegally accessed that info over 500 time to get women's phone numbers.

If the US ever got to that insane state, you'd have a hell of a lot more to worry about than if the government knew you had weapons or not.

Also I find it particularly funny that Trump supporters are using the Nazi Germany comparison to support their argument after constantly whining about others doing the same

You realize that Nazi Germany is nowhere near the only example, right? Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran - all of these places did the same thing.
