Gun Control & RKBA

(3,660 posts)I mean sure it's possible that wholesale confiscation may happen in the future but it's a pretty damned unlikely scenario that would likely either take years to get through the courts giving plenty of warning or be in tandem with an equally unlikely TEOTWAWKI scenario like a military coup when legal gun ownership would not be high on the list of our problems. I mean the only even vaguely plausible version is that a few more theocrats get elected/appointed and we go full-Scudder, in which case known non-Christians may see selective confiscation, but even then Muslims would be priority one and therefore again plenty of warning/time for most of us to react.
In the 999,999 out of 1MM possible futures where none of that nuttery occurs, I truly could not give a damn if I'm on a list or not. We're all on voter lists, tax rolls, soc sec lists, DL databases, yadda yadda yadda and none of those have led to jackbooted thugs yet so I doubt a gun owner list would be a problem for law-abiding folks either.
