But I think it would take a Constitutional Amendment, I doubt if any of us see this in our lifetimes. Our grandchildren, that could be a possibility.

There will NEVER be a confiscation. Period. Won't happen. More than likely the 2nd amendment will never be touched. Believe me the government has many more ways of getting the guns, ammo, and weapons than going after the 2nd amendment. This big stir about taking the guns and 2nd amendment is all just a diversion. Behind the scenes the various ways of making guns a non issue are being put into place. Whether that be by taxes, permits, rules and regulations. The government will quickly "find" a way to attack the issue and confiscation/2nd amendment will never be used or mentioned. Once you stop the frontal assault, ie confiscation/repeal of 2nd amendment, getting the guns is simple. You can allow anyone anything as long as you make it unfeasible economically. The IRS could end the gun debate in a year if they were just turned loose. No one will ever come to your door to get your gun. Many would actually balk at this and blood would be shed. Government will have you bringing them to them. Packaging them up and sending them in for something you want more. No blood shed at all. Like I said before, the collection of weapons would be through voluntary compliance by the majority of the law abiding citizens. In case you two havent noticed, gun owners pay a lot of cash to the nra to fight those exact issues. And thats just first line of defense. And do you really think gun owners are so ignorant that the end arounds wouldnt be understood as the breech of 2A? You might get states and munis to do those things, but the fed doing it will get the same response as confiscation. The belief that any significant number of gun owners will just hand over their weapons is quite amusing though. Thanks for the laugh.

I went duck hunting and took my firearms with me in case we encountered deer or dangerous feral hogs. A dangerous storm blew in and boat overturned. Unfortunately all items on board sank to the bottom of the lake. Only thing left in my safe are my families pictures on hard drives and birth certs...

Well I think the answer to this dilemma is renaming the AR15 to an undocumented 15 and they would leave them alone....... I believe most Americans will obey the law, whatever laws are passed. On the other hand I do not believe the states would ratify elimination of the 2nd Amendment, and the high court has already ruled on the meaning. If we however lose the 2nd Amendment our other rights are not far behind, and pretty soon so is the United States. We are only America because our Constitution says we do not have to allow our government to become a dictatorship or a kingdom. And contrary to common belief we are not dictated by popular vote and our elected officials are not royalty. On the money as usual Sir. Salute.

Exactly. History repeats itself. Genocide on some scale has followed every gun confiscation/ban since the 1900s.

You might wanna read the 16th amendment. [/quote]
Federal taxes as we know them are not mentioned in the Constitution and its articles. Only at the beginning of the last century and after Pollock were "taxes" given pretty solid precedent. In 1913 when the 16th amendment was passed it changed everything. I am not going to give a history lesson on here about the tariffs, taxes, and excise taxes throughout history often associated with the articles, clauses, and sections. Simply looking it up on Wiki and copy and pasting it does not tell the history of "taxes," the constitution, court cases, and amendments. You have to know the true historical path that all these things followed and how they came together. All taxes are not the same or equal. Again, I am not going to give a complete lesson on THF. You can't simply go to wiki and read the outline and know the true history.

Man you are the gift that just keeps on giving. Incredible. The concept that confiscating guns is in any way comparable to taxation is ridiculous to the point of being hilarious. You are more than welcome. Your opinion is noted. Completely wrong in my opinion, but you are entitled to it. Your inability to see and make the connection to the two is on you and your lack of education. Both are simply government functions and both have been controlled by the government and will continue until the government holds all the cards as they do in "taxes" and will in gun control. But still glad you find it hilarious. I feel same!

First, Government is not taught in any 8th grade class in Texas. Government is a senior level class taught in 12 grade. Nice cut and paste from WIKI, but you really have to dig much more in-depth to know and understand the path "taxation" has taken over the years and again I am not going reteach those things. MY whole point is, and I hate it with a passion, that the government can easily get around the 2nd amendment, get it done away with or amended, and all these cold dead hands people would not even realize their guns were gone and they would still be crowing. I guess the fact that we were made to purchase insurance also doesn't show the point either does it? Ranting and raving will not help us. Our only hope is to elect truly conservative constitutionalist and get the same type judges in office. Anyway, just my simple opinion, certainly not going to berate anyone for believing different. Have a great day.

You already have berated people- "lack of education" and accusing others of copying and pasting from wiki. As you stated, youre entitled to your opinion, just like every one else is. That doesn't make yours any more accurate than theirs. Debating amongst ourselves wont solve anything. As you said, the only way to combat the problem is elected officials. In the end though, whatever means or methods they attempt to use, we need to stand together. They can try to use whatever agency and by whatever means but that doesn't mean I will give in. YMMV.
