Suppose the feds banned all private ownership and possession of all firearms. What would you do and why? Where would you go and why?

I would immediately presume that the 2nd Amendment had been repealed.

Even if the 2A was repealed you would still have the RKBA.

The BOR just states the rights that exist. The right was given to us by our Creator. The BOR also does not state all of our rights.

If the government takes the stance that all firearms must be confiscated then.....the government is repealed.

I wouldn't care to comment specifically, on an open Internet forum, but you might refer to this thread:

This has already been discussed and I think most people came to the consensus that what ever they would do they wouldn't post online. I would suggest that same cause once you post it you can never take it back.

Most gun owners talk a good game, but won't do much when their rights are infringed; thats why they can constantly be infringed.

Bingo. By the way, it was a cash transaction, and I never gave the guy a receipt. He showed me valid ID, but I don't have a copy of it. I just remember that his name was Bill, or Barry.... Or was it Joe? Gee, I'm sorry Mr. Obenfuhrer, I honestly don't remember. I think he might have had brown eyes... ...or were they blue? Hmmmmm......
