I would think they will come at gun owners via more regulations and taxes.

Sometimes I think cons start threads like this just to remind us that they're stupid

I'm only guessing here. But, guns are made to last arn't they? I guess the way the American people love their guns, they'll be oiled and well polished. Soooooo, if you keep having 'record gun sales' because you're frightened someone is going to take them away, there must be, I don't know. a guess, probably a couple of hundred million guns in public hands in the US.

My guess is based on a three hundred million population, an average of two guns out of every three people. Some people probably have numerous guns so it's probably a lot more.

Lots of people would say 'out of my cold, dead hands' to any authority that tried to take them away.

So what is it you're all frightened of? Who is going to take them, and how? Calm down.........

I'm middle aged now....do the math.

I seriously question the sanity of anyone who's first reaction to a new President is whether or not their guns are safe.

Also anyone who feels the need to have more than one or two guns.


No one is coming for your guns. And even if they do, guess what? You'll live without a gun.

If they regulate guns, they are not going to take them from any hard working hunter, or countryman who supports the 2nd amendment. They will only regulate and take the guns out of the hands of inner city criminals, and urban gentrification would likely surge. This is why i believe in restrictions on killing machines. Why do we ban harmless things like hemp or gay marriage, but let people freely walk around with killing machines. You can give the stance that people kill people and not guns, but in reality, take away the weapon, and you will most likely not be killed at all.

1 MOA is what?

Many of us reload and were/are weapons experts. Ex(1). What's the max COL of a .45 ACP?
