I'm fairly certain there would be a very high number of reports of theft if those days approached. That or personal sales.

 
If I actually owned any firearms . . . which I don't . . . as far as you know . . . I would not turn them in.

Nor would I register them . . . you know . . . if I actually owned any.

 
This would simply never happen.

First, you have to get rid of the 2nd amendment. Not going to happen... but let's play the game and say that the anti-gun crowd manages to pull this off.

Then what? Mass civil disobediance. Millions would simply ignore it.

So....? You enforce it? How so? Raiding houses? I have yet to meet a cop who did not fully back the 2nd amendment. They are going to willingly go seize guns from otherwise law abidding citizens? Yea... sure. But let's continue with the game here.... you convince the majority of cops to go out and seize these weapons.

How do you think this will end? How many people would willingly open their doors and say "Ooops, here you go." and how many would say "Over my dead body!".

No, those who believe in the 2nd amendment would fight to the death to keep it and who is going to force them to give that right up? A bunch of people who don't own guns because guns are bad? Not so much.

 
Don't know which is funnier- the discussion about whether or not this will actually happen, or the internet tough guy who will fight to the death before surrendering.

Who said they would fight to the death here?

Nobody. You're debating with not only red herrings, but with nonexistent commenters. This can't be a first, but is funny.

It's Timmy... he has already had this whole thread happen in his head.

Oh it's coming. What do you think "cold dead hands" is all about?

I'm okay with tim, but wait until somebody at least mouth breathes or something like it.

I agree. Somebody is fighting to the death, but at least hold off for a moment.

 
This would simply never happen.
You could have just stopped here.
Boring.
I guess but this country was built on the premise of gun ownership, we might as well just shut it down if you start taking people's ####. I'm not exactly a pro gun guy either, but it's a right that is central to our existence.
I don't believe this. I'm fine with the 2nd Amendment, don't want to remove it, don't want to seize anybody's guns. But private gun ownership is not essential to our liberty, or anyone's.

If people like me think so, I'm guessing at least 85% of Americans agree with me. Thus, it is essential to our liberty.

 
Okay, poll is up. I've tried to edit.... I suck at it.

The premise is pretty clear, I think.

Yes/No/No opinion.

 
I seem to get along fine in life not owning any firearms. If the fedgov went through all the legal avenues and we decided as a nation that we had grown as a society to not need an armed populace then yes i would be a law abiding America loving citizen and turn in the guns i dont already have. Won't happen of course and i'm also good with that. We need more barriers to easy access though.

1. It will never happen

2. There are people that will fight to the death before surrending and they aren't internet tough guys.

The question poses a hypothetical situation, asking you to assume something has occurred, and calling for a yes or no (or rats ###) answer given the assumed condition.
