i don't mind a ban as long as there is a grandfather clause. Would increase the value of my ar 10 fold. alot of people got rich off of the full auto ban back in the day.
damn that's pretty selfish breh. my nfa items would lose most of their value if the '86 ban was repealed but i still want that. when these incremental bans happen it cuts these guns off from the next generation, having never shot them they'll see them as strange, evil objects, further destroying the culture. do you think your grandkids will keep your (now illegal) ar-10 after you die when to them gun "rights" mean owning nothing more serious than a bolt action .22? nah breh, it's gonna get turned over the police to be melted down.
i see stories like this from britain all the time, but instead of an ar-10 it's grandpa's scary semi-auto .22 he hunted squirrels with (all semi autos are banned there). the kids find a 10/22 or a box of ammo and call the cops to take it away like they found some fukkin uxo from world war ii or something. same deal with my former country, every generation gets a ban handed down on them but they're all right with it because "hey i get to keep the guns i own, my dad's guns were 'weapons of war' anyway." now they have nothing available to them but black powder/cap and ball/bb guns.
@Hijo de luna was on point too, these dems always copy-paste gun legislation from the last state they were successful in and all the recent ones have no grandfather clause. the proposed laws in va didn't have one but their blackface governor had to put them in as a "compromise" to ensure they pass. meanwhile other states like ny, their bans passed with grandfather clauses but the grandfathering is slowly being removed, you're given the choice of surrendering your property, leaving the state or becoming a felon.
That's just not feasible. They don't know who has what and where. They are going to go door to door with warrants to search premises and seize weapons. They'd literally have to check every single day. And there's plenty of people who keep guns away from their primary residence and not in their cars.
There's no practical way or even forceful way to do it.
kinda what i was going at before, the aim isn't confiscation, it's destruction of the culture. these cats know that the bans in other states resulted in
less than 5% compliance so they'll just wait for you to bury your guns/lose them in a boating accident, then die. your kids/grandkids won't feel the same way about your guns as you do if they've been a forbidden object for their whole lives.
