Happy to. They won't literally be "hers," and the confiscation will be by attrition. Much of it will be by state and local police, who, in NJ, NY and California already confiscate personal firearms.

Once the 2nd amendment is conclusivly held to embody a government right and not an individual one, a federal law can be passed that first limits then prohibits ownership.

I figure the process takes two generations.

And none of that is technically by repeal of the second amendment. It will still be there in exactly the form it is today, but as a matter of law, will be held to not protect an individual right. This was the status of federal case law for decades, via judicial misrepresentation of Presser and Miller.

Hillary, the common scold in a pantsuit, is point man for restoring that.

“...the confiscation will be by attrition. Much of it will be by state and local police, who, in NJ, NY [CT] and California already confiscate personal firearms.”

First of all, confiscation is an act of the state, attrition is a process over time. There is no confiscation without registration, and Congress will never pass a law creating a national gun registry. It’s third rail deadly to even try.

Each of those states have experienced massive noncompliance with ex post facto turn in laws. State police chiefs growl at the cameras, but no one’s sent out the paddy wagons just yet.

There have been attempts to confiscate guns when a FOID holder dies, but huge blowback resulted and in a nutshell, governors aren’t in a hurry to call out the National Guard & impose martial law.

Confiscations which did occur in the New Orleans area after Katrina resulted in a backlash of laws in other states forbidding authorities to confiscate just because of a hurricane or such.

Your serve.
