Go ahead and call me naive, but I really can't see anyone trying to take away existing guns from gun owners. At the farthest reaches of my imagination, I could see them telling you to turn them in, but if you don't...? You sold it, lost it, it fell in a well, etc. Are they going to come to your house and search it? That's a bit far-fetched for me to buy, but it would be good in the long run, as it would result in the largest membership drive in NRA history and would probably take the Democrats out of the political business forever come 2012. There are a LOT of gun owners and pro 2nd amendment voters in the US, and I think the dems will be much more careful and try to creep up quietly on gun owners with "reasonable" (in their spin) restrictions. As the NRA notes, did you notice that NO ONE, not even the most liberal democrat, was on tv with a commercial touting their intention to ban guns wholesale from the US? Times they have changed, IMH(& naive) O.Mike1951 wrote:Every reference I have seen to a proposed, new AWB includes that there will be no grandfather clause.
If that were to be, every one of us who owns such a firearm or magazine would then be a criminal.

Still good to be aware and cognizant of what's going on around us.
