Just how realistic is the said gun ban?

[Stupid]

People are buying up all kinds of firearms and supplies. lots of dealers are out of stock now. Just how realistic is this gun fan? I know the president probably will focus on economy first, but the whole firearm industry is tiny (50billion? i could be wrong) compared to what Citi and BA have lost in a quarter. are people just being paranoid?

As they say, "being paranoid doesn't mean they aren't really out to get you."

I believe that they wil get something passed along the lines of the Clinton ban.

I still think we can muster enough support to prevent something nightmarish from passing.

There is no harm in folks buying something now that they may not be able to buy later.

Any new law will probably not address ownership, just regulate sales.

I think a ban is very possible however the win in DC v Heller really helps our chances. I still think they will try to ban hi-cap mags, "assault weapons" etc., similar to the Clinton era Brady Bill. I saw a video from a guy from the Cato Institute-(libertarian think tank- some of their guys helped fight the DC gun ban in the Heller case- for those that don't know) who doesn't think Obama will do anything because of something he said prior to the election. Personally I don't trust any politician, especially one from a state such as Illinois, which has some of the most strict gun laws, and who has surrounded himself with staff who are all anti gun. I just bought an AR last week. I would recommend getting anything you might want just in case.

As a retired telephone engineer, I hate to tell you how many times I have seen that happen.

The thing is, is it wont be "first law" out will be to band all guns. It will start small and then gradually erode your rights. I saw this because my buddy in AZ just sent me some pics of him walking out of his local Jack in the box with his 9mm strapped to his hip. Me, in Texas must get a license to conceal.

Open carry wont pass because the mentality of the "people" is that there "will be blood in the streets". The big "O" of is slick. Do you honestly think that he will put through a bill that says "this bill will take all your guns away?" No, it will be smaller bills that slowly take your rights away.

If you cut that phone drop, we will bill your! All jokes aside, I expect the 94 ban to be re-instated probably, and a law passed requiring all transactions, including private to probably be banned. My two cents.

O.K. my previous post was not quite understandable, I was trying to say I thought a bill would be passed requiring all private transactions to go through an FFL.

Hiring enough people to enforce that would certainly help the unemployment picture.

Nothing will happen right away...IMHO. The economy is job one and bickering over firearms legislation is not a good way for the "great uniter" to start out. My belief is that they will hold off for the next mass shooting to try and ram firearm restrictions through. They need a recent cause to base the laws on to get enough votes from both sides of the isle.

it will happen ...will take a little time though

I think some of you are going to be surprised he's no worse for guns than Bush.

I think all of his supporters are going to be surprised just how radical he is. The time of grand campaign verbiage has ended. It is time he pays his money people and he will do that with our civil rights if given the opportunity. To think otherwise is to not take him at his word. It is documented that he is going after our Second Amendment rights and I believe him.

I just hope free people don't let his actions "slide" as he infringes on our rights one small step at a time. ANY action against our rights is wrong. Stand up and be counted or we risk losing everything. That is what I think.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have heard more than a dozen Obamanites claim he isn't anti-gun. I can't for the life of me figure out how any educated person could believe this. His track record shows him to be anti RKBA. He is a liberal elitist and is very much part of the crowd that wants to disarm the average Joe and Josephine's of America. They are scared to death of us. They know that they have limited power as long as we have the means to resist their terrany.

No doubt, many Obamanites are in for a rude awakening when it comes to losing personal freedoms to this administration. This clown and his ilk are out for a socialist form of government and will take us as far into socialism as they can get away with. Disarming Americans is one piece of that puzzle and Obama knows it. The combination of Obama/Biden/Palaousy/Franks is going to prove to be the biggest threat to the American way of life in the history of our country.

Just to be clear about my post above. I believe they will make a serious run to disarm Americans. I just don't feel it will be right out of the hat. That is my hope anyway...while I stock up on all things weapons related.
