Amid talk of reinstating the assault weapons ban that expired eight years ago, police departments nationwide are thinking of ways to confiscate such weapons.
As WCBS 880s Marla Diamond reported, among the departments considering taking action is the NYPD. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said if Congress were to reinstate the ban, police are wondering whether it will be their responsibility to confiscate them.

Last night, I did something I hadn't done about the current event in Connecticut. I am stuck on some things that make no sense to me, such as the distance from the house to the school, the location of the school from its driveway and surrounding territory, the reason to commit these heinous acts on that particular day, and the reason to raid the gun shop (and confiscate the record book, no doubt).
So, I started with my usual tactic of looking up the date. I found that Britain recognized Iraq on that day, and the Decembrists rose up in Russia, which was apparently anti-tsarist. Uthman became the 3rd caliph, and you'll recall that someone recited the Koran at 0bama's memorial event. Most critical for us, though, is that George Washington died on December 14th; you'll recall, the doctor's leeched him too death in their ignorance.
I quit looking for answers when I came on that piece of information. Someone, be it Satan himself, likes to twist the knife.
I tend to agree with you that it won't come to actual confiscation, but in the event that it did, cooperation of any sort is the wrong response.
If the jackbooted thugs ever come to the door to disarm you, you kill them, or die trying. To do anything less is to surrender the last shred of freedom, and most likely, your very life.
Don’t wait unless you have too, I’ve been to several shops and the selection is significantly reduced.
That will truly be the day “shot heard round the world.”
shots, plural.
......WOLVERINES!!!!!!.........
And remember what Japanese admiral yamamoto said about trying to invade.....
I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. They may confiscate the first few, but unless they kill the owners, word will quickly get out and leo’s will be sitting ducks from that point on.
Oboy, your comments about Scottish moms bring back memories of my mom and grandfather. Both very easygoing, but if they ever got their dander up, g-d help you.....
And good posting on the stories of the Highlander ladies :)
The English used arms control in Scotland after the ‘45, and sent the rebels off to another land as punishment ......
Didn’t work out quite as well as planned.
Won’t work out quite as well now either.....
Be aware that I condemn and disapprove of this activity originated by crooked cops, drug informants and perfected by progressive leftist socialist political agitators. Investigation has shown the method used by these leftist criminals, and it is documented in post #74.
To date there is no evidence that conservative or libertarian citizens have ever engaged in this reprehensible activity.

They can start wth the New Black Panthers in Philly. Let me know when they are successful there first.
I’m just laughing at him I’m not perturbed at all. :-)

I don't think there will be any door to door searches either. Searching some 80 million homes is a logistical impossibility in any case.
"Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster .223 assault rifle to kill 26 people inside the school, including 20 children. Police said Lanza did not use the two handguns he also had with him."
Whaaa???
I could have swore that I heard it was the other way around. The misinformation being disseminated by the freakin' press about this (and about a lot of other things during the election) borders on outright criminality.
The headline should probably read: Cops “hope” they can kick more doors in, rough more citizens up and steal their guns.
That's a good idea. Personally none of my 20+ guns have any paper on them at all so it is unlikely they would be contacting me in the first place. If they pulled an 0-dark thirty armed home invasion (aka a No-Knock Warrant) then it will be bloodier than a Tarantino movie.
But that is not how gun turn-ins and door-to-door confiscations would be conducted. For one thing the NKW method would require more personnel and vastly larger sums of money. They won't have enough of either to do simple door-to-door contacts. We're talking tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars and with the economy about to do a swan dive into a kettle of boiling Greece that's not going to happen.
But the D-to-D method means that there will be lots of advance warning except for those unfortunate ones who are contacted in the first couple of weeks. There is no one way to handle a situation that you can set in stone ahead of time. Or shouldn't be. I deal with things by doing what is appropriate in the moment. As you said, fighting on your terms and not theirs is the preferable thing to do. That can take many forms depending upon circumstances.
