Your post is worst case scenario for us and the Country but I believe there would be a true rebellion if these laws were passed and enacted.Oh please! US is like a slowly heating pot and we are frogs. We are being slowly squeezed and we don't realize it. There won't be confiscation or bans! Here's what's going to happen:
In 10 years, the majority of guns will be confiscated via the above scheme
- The government will pass laws that will tax manufacturers on anything they sell to citizens. The price of firearms will go through the roof making it impossible to buy firearms for 99% of the population.
- The government will pass laws requiring gun owners to buy insurance. The cost of insurance will be very small but it will require annual proficiency tests. Failing the test will require you to surrender your guns until you can pass the test.
- Annual proficiency tests will be required. These tests will get progressively more difficult to ensure a 50% failure rate. Heck, even today, if every gun owner took the NRA Basic Pistol test, more than HALF would fail it!
- Surrendered guns will be stored in bonded warehouses that will charge exorbitant fees making cost prohibitive to retrieve your guns once you do pass the test.
I see three paths of execution of gun confiscation:
- Tax manufacturers until they stop selling to private citizens. Military and Police only
- Make everyday places "gun-free". the only places where it will be allowed is inside your home and in some remote deserted place.
- Proficiency tests and insurance scheme I described aboce
