I enjoy when the foolish say..."no one is trying to take our guns away." they are like a person who goes to work, and while they are away a lawn service comes in, mows the lawn and takes care of the hedges...when they get home they look over their yard and say to themselves...."why do I have a lawn service...this yard looks great all on its own"
the fools who believe that left to their own devices that gun grabbing politicians wouldn't pass gun bans are just nuts......we have examples across the world and local examples of democrats trying to get as much banned as they can....
why don't they ban more....because of the efforts of the NRA, and the 2nd Amendment Foundation and all the local gun rights groups and politicians who support gun rights....most of the time you never see these efforts...they take place at the state level and don't make national news...you have to read the gun sites to even know they are happening..but it is a constant fight and it is ongoing and will not stop...
those opposed to people owning guns will not stop...and they work through Hollywood, and the education system and through politics....
We had an assault rifle ban...but that doesn't't count...we have the New York SAFE act, but that doesn't count, we have states that have banned conealed carry...but that doesn't count, we have states banning magazine, the Feds trying to ban the most popular type of ammo....but they don't count.....
Add up all of those attempts....and the fact that only by fighting those attempts,were more not implemented and you fools like Clayton are exactly that...fools.....
Yet further evidence of your ignorance, stupidity, and extremism.
In no jurisdiction in the United States has any person had his firearm 'taken away' as a matter of public law. In no jurisdiction in the United States has anyone had his firearm 'taken away' absent just case to do so and pursuant to the gun owner's right to due process and just compensation in accordance with the 5th Amendment. And in no jurisdiction in the United States is anyone prohibited from possessing a firearm, or prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm.
The 1992 AWB did not 'confiscate' the prohibited weapons, a ban now gone never to return given current Second Amendment jurisprudence and the lack of a political desire to do so.
The Safe Act does not authorize firearms to be 'confiscated,' and has been upheld as Constitutional by a Federal court.
Magazine restrictions have likewise been upheld as Constitutional, along with background checks, such as the measures in Colorado.
Again, in no jurisdiction are citizens prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm; the Illinois prohibition was struck down as un-Constitutional back in 2012, the last of its kind.
And the Federal government is not seeking to 'ban' ammunition as a 'backdoor' means to 'gun control,' this notion is paranoid, delusional, and proven to be a lie.
Rather than exhibiting your ignorance, stupidity, and extremism, instead learn the law and facts of the issues concerning the Second Amendment, acknowledge the fact that the Second Amendment right is not absolute and subject to reasonable restrictions by government, and realize that the evolution of Second Amendment jurisprudence is ongoing, involving the political process, the courts, and citizens.
Last, understand that the Safe Act, the Colorado magazine capacity measure, and other similar laws are currently subject to legal challenge and judicial review to determine their constitutionality, likely to come before the Supreme Court, and that the best course of action is informed vigilance in support of the Second Amendment, not ignorant, hyperbolic extremism and stupidity.
