Just think of George Bush and Cheney saying we have to give up our guns or even one particular gun or one type clip/magazine. No way would they have allowed this to happen. I can see Cheney in full charge getting rid of that idea.
The idea of taking our guns makes me want to buy some more just to spit in their eye.
I remember conversations back in 1970 about that. We (gun owners) are in a much better place than we were back then.

Hate to break it to you sister, but that horse left the barn about two years ago...
Would you have believed in 2007, the year before Hussein was elected, that we would actually be discussing the feds taking away our guns? I think, in 2007, we would never have believed this possibility could happen.

Actually, yes I could have imagined it, but would have rated it as not too likely, barring unforseen circumstances. The UN and other International groups have long salivated in anticipation of confiscating guns in the USA, so I often have this concern dwelling in the back of my mind.
Bush had some good qualities, but unfortunately, he also leaned toward a New World Order/globalism. He would not have been re-elected if he messed with the 2cnd amendment, and he knew it, and I wasn’t particularyly concerned.
Newtown is likely to be a game changer, and it is too early to see how it will play out.
I fully expect the USA to face confiscation at some point in our future regardless of party. It is just a question of when not if.
More likely with a Democrat, but a liberal Pubbie is almost as likely.
It was a concern even with the GCA of '68, which required a form to be filled out--concerns even then of registration and confiscation.
