I do not think it will come to gun confiscation but I do see some legislation coming down the pike.

My son has two so called assault rifles. I told him that they will probably be banned. Just too much
going on and too much support to do something. Even though the ban on assault weapons in 1994 did
little to stop Columbine they will probably do it again. Then there will be a ban on the size of magazines/clips.
Back then I believe it was not more than 10 I see that again with maybe 1 or 2 less.

I am not condoning this because it has shown not to do any good in the past but they will try it again and
I believe they have the support for it.

I used to have 8 long guns, and 7 handguns. I gave all my long guns to my son and am left with 4 handguns.
Of those I believe 3 will be in compliance with the 1994 ban if it should come to that.

I do not go to the range too often any more so yesterday I gave my son 1000 rds of 9MM and .40 cal leaving me with around 1000.

I spoke with him yesterday about his so called assault rifles. One .223 and one .30. He is a bit worried about them banning them
even though they will probably be grandfathered but suppose they put a huge tax on the ammon that they use. It will simply be
too expensive to shoot at the range.

None of this will deter some nut from doing it again. They do not care about bans, high price of ammo or any other law
that will be passed but to satisfy much of the public and the anti gun legislators.

I also see the matter of gun control again going to the Supreme Court this time to rule on being armed in public.

I do not foresee good times ahead for anyone like myself that is pro gun.

I agree - it'll be accomplished bit by bit, category by category, perhaps with more taxes and surcharges.
Some 'haters' are patient. Gun control in Kanada has been in the works for decades and has makes use
of attrition and different phases:

# registration of handguns
# federal license to buy
# prohibition of ownership of machine guns (with grandfathering, but owners can only sell to other
grandfathered owners, so eventually they will all die off)
# restriction of short-barrel semi-auto rifles/shotguns
# banning of high-cap mags (max 10rns for handgun, 5rnd for semi-auto rifles - no grandfathering)
# federal license to POSSESS or buy
# prohibition of short-barrel pistols, scary looking long guns(with grandfathering, but owners can only sell to other
grandfathered owners, so eventually they will all die off)
# registration of all long guns (10yrs and $2 billion, later they findally figure out it does no good and give up)

# not sure what might come next

What is the problem withs short barreled pistols? Or is this supposed to be to show how ridiculous it all is?
