If the law(s) passes, the Dems will be looking for people they can make examples of to scare the populace into compliance. They’ll be looking for ‘regular’ people ... upstanding, honest citizens who, having legally bought their guns, become felons with the stroke of a pen. Your neighbor, your hunting buddy, maybe a relative, etc. .... it’s going to be a really bad scene when this starts happening.

If anything triggers, CWII, it will be something like this. Trampling on the 2nd Amendment, removing legally-purchased firearms from their lawful owners, is the surest sign of impending government tyranny that there is.

Recipe for sustainable Socialist Revolution:

1. Disarm the populace

2. Gain control of the "news" media

3. Gain control of the education system

$. eliminate ALL poliictal opposition by whatever means necessary

" . . . upstanding, honest citizens who, having legally bought their guns, become felons with the stroke of a pen."

This is very close to an "ex post facto" law, prohibited by the Constitution, criminalizing something after the fact. Proponents will argue that they are not criminalizing the purchase of the gun after the fact, but only its continued possession, just as other once-legal items have later been banned for one reason or another.

It is a slippery argument, but the INTENT is clearly to chip away at the 2nd Amendment, first by banning "scary" guns, then by banning the guns that do most of the actual harm - pistols and revolvers. The rationale for banning them will change, weapon by weapon.
