CDNN is selling hi-cap mags for rifle for around $20 to $30. That might be a reasonable idea. How many do you think would get turned in? If the street price was closer to $50 or $100, guess where most would end up? If you did have the feds registering all of the guns and certifying all of the shooters, do you think the anti gun people would get off our backs or would it just be a prelude to confiscation? For me it is not that big a deal. I own an NFA firearm so I have been vetted by BATF and I have a CCW so state knows I have had education and I carry a card. If possession after a date certain were a felony with serious consequences, such as, for example, a substantial fine and loss of one's legal ability to own a firearm, then I suspect a lot will be turned in. The law abiding people might turn them in but that is not who poses the problem. I think you night even find a number of otherwise law abiding people who would stuff a few under the insulation in the attic or something, assuming the law would be repealed or simply ruled against in court. I think the public is tiring of the "Nothing will work, so let's do nothing" response. |

Another in your never-ending barrage of "we can't do anything, so let's do nothing" posts. |

It is not a hard concept to understand unless you only look at it from a political points perspective. |

I started a thread suggesting that all of the Hi-caps and assault weapons be put into a modified NFA style registry ... and then leave the owners alone. I got nothing. And this is going to solve WHAT? |
