I’ve read there are around 15 million AR-15s in circulation. I assume only a small percentage would be turned in if they were made illegal. The purpose of such a law isn’t to “get guns off the streets” but to criminalize whole classes of Americans that Democrats don’t like.

Under the much ballyhooed Australia gun ban, only about 20% were turned in. And you're right. With an 80% non-compliance, the Dems would turn millions of innocent people into criminals overnight just by decree.
