    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?

      You weren’t specific.

      Was there mass gun confiscation when the Assault Weapons Ban was in effect?

      The AWB banned import and manufacture of certain firearms for sale to civilians. The guns and magazines in circulation were grandfathered.

      Wouldn’t that have been the time to do it?

      I’m not sure how you would determine the best 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.

          Not all at once, of course.

            No one in power has ever tried to confiscate guns. It has never happened. No one is stupid enough to try it either. It wouldn’t be possible. You’re buying into bullshit NRA propaganda.

              No one in power has ever tried to confiscate guns.

              The purpose of red flag laws is to give law enforcement the tools to confiscate or seize firearms from certain people, is it not?

                You know I meant mass confiscation. Don’t intentionally muddy the waters.

                Red flag laws are not going to lead to gun confiscation. Again, stop falling for NRA propaganda.

                Red flag laws have been around for 25 years. I assume you still have all of your guns and no one has ever tried to take them from you. Unless you’re insane, they never will either. And soon, based on previous SCOTUS rulings, insanity won’t be a barrier either.

                  Why don’t you explain what you believe constitutes “mass confiscation”?

                  NOT New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina or disarming Lakota at Wounded Knee, right?
