It has to be in the hundreds of millions, if not billions. I wasn't kidding. Obama is coming for them right now!
For the record, I don't mock gun owners, I mock morons. And history has shown (morons) they are coming for your guns yesterday, today, tomorrow, and everyday! So, stock up now and get ready for a firefight!
I fear your reading comprehension skills deteriorate with each passing month. I didn't state confiscation has happened in the past, I said it is happening now as we speak. As for the history angle, I'll use my horribly broken, in terms of the 2A, state of CA as an example. In the eighties they passed a ban on "high capacity" magazines, any magazine that holds more than ten rounds. They grandfathered in all such magazines already in the state. The purpose of this was not to necessitate confiscation of citizens legally purchased property. It was also stated at that time that this would not change. Fast forward to today and not only are all such magazines, even the previously grandfathered ones, banned they must be surrendered or removed from the state or the owner faces criminal charges. This is confiscation. Thus, history has shown that gun owners should trust anti-gun politicians and people as much as pro choice people should trust pro-life people and politicians, i.e. not at all.
In addition CA has now passed two laws, one via the legislature and one via proposition that outlaws all semi-automatic rifles with a removable magazine. Any currently in the state have to now be registered as an "assault weapon" or the legally purchased firearm now becomes illegal to own. In addition these firearms are now permanently non-transferable. They cannot be sold or given to anyone other than the registered owner. Not confiscation you say? Wait for it. This includes any registered firearm after the owner dies. Upon the owner's death the firearm has to be rendered inoperable or surrendered to the state. This is confiscation and it's hardly the last step that anti-gun politicians like Gavin Newsome will attempt. I won't even get into the insane background check for ammunition crap fest portion of the current laws.
So, history has shown that the end game for anti-gun types is confiscation and gun owners are right to fear that is their aim. So, kindly take your smarmy reply and cram it, along with any "high capacity" magazines you may own.
