That said, I’m 46 and I’ve heard “they’re coming for your guns” my whole life. I’m wondering when they’re going to do it because they’re sure taking their time.
Could it be possible that it hasn’t happened yet because people have been fighting against it?
They’re just campaigning and advocating for it with no intention of following through on it?
Facts First: Biden’s gun control plan does not include confiscating legally owned weapons and an interpretation of a “viral video” is a mishearing of what was said. The former vice president has said in the past that a Biden administration would come for people’s “assault weapons.”
But in August 2019, during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Biden was asked about people who think a Biden administration “means they’re going to come for my guns.” Biden replied, “Bingo, you’re right if you have an assault weapon. The fact of the matter is they should be illegal. Period.”
When asked about this exchange, a Biden official told CNN, “Joe Biden defeated the NRA to ban assault weapons before, and he was reminding viewers that as president he will do it again.”
Okay? Where does any of that say there will be mass gun confiscation? Was there mass gun confiscation when the Assault Weapons Ban was in effect? Wouldn’t that have been the time to do it?
I’m guessing you would determine that “never” is the best time to do it because, again, no one in power is planning on taking your guns away, they haver have and they likely never will.

Or is it because it’s unrealistic?
Those that craft public policy in the interest of achieving that objective do not seem to think so.
Absolutely no one with any power is crafting gun confiscation policy. That’s nonsense.

You weren’t specific.
The AWB banned import and manufacture of certain firearms for sale to civilians. The guns and magazines in circulation were grandfathered.
I’m not sure how you would determine the best time to do it.

Not all at once, of course.
