[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3190859, member: 14668"] Let me cue you in to a sobering reality. There are, currently, many many tens of millions of unregistered "assault weapons" in the hands of militia members/KKK/alt-right/Nazi type groups. These groups are paranoid, they are racist, they are homophobic, and they utterly despise the Federal government. There is absolutely no way they will [I]ever [/I]turn these guns in to that government. Ever. Indeed, the calls for bans and confiscation are what serve as a rallying point for many of these groups to exist in the first place. I would ask you to carefully consider the long-term consequences of living in a society where the law-abiding have been at least partially disarmed and where hate groups who refused to turn their weapons in have essentially been given a monopoly on that sort of firepower. I also find it ironic and dangerously naive when a liberal/minority population with a justified fear of and abhorrence to police brutality and bias takes the position that (a) the police are the only ones who should be armed and (b) the police can be relied upon to protect them from the supremacist groups who have not, and will not, turn their guns in.
