*IF* absolute gun control advocates got their wish... and all guns were made illegal. Right now.
What would happen?
1) Would law-abiding citizens rush to turn their guns in?
2) Would YOU turn your gun(s) in?
3) Would crime stop?
4) Would crime at least lessen? If so, how much? (Guess)
5) Would terroristic and/or mass shootings stop?
6) Would terroristic and/or mass shootings at least lessen? If so, how much? (Guess)
7) Would police lose feeling the need to be militantly reactive?
8) Would/could we reduce the size and scope of police forces?
9) Would society be better off, or dare I say... happier?
The question presumes the 2A is overturned/repealed.1 - maybe.Some will and some won't. Although by definition if they didn't turn in their guns then they wouldn't be law abiding citizens this is of course if the 2nd amendment was overturned.If the 2nd amendment was not overturned then they would still be law abiding citizens for not turning something in that the highest law in the land says they have a right to.
2 - 8 the answer is no.Criminals will not turn in their guns.Crime did not stop in countries that practically banned firearms, many would argue that violent crime went up in those countries after all criminals love easy targets.All the gun control laws in Frances did not stop those terrorist attacks.Plus should it actually be impossible for a terrorist to get a gun that terrorist will resort to other means of killing people.
Not sure if they'd "rush," but if they're law-abiding, they would by definition go to wherever they were instructed and surrender their guns before the deadline.*IF* absolute gun control advocates got their wish... and all guns were made illegal. Right now.

1) Would law-abiding citizens rush to turn their guns in?
I don't have any.2) Would YOU turn your gun(s) in?
Certainly not. Organized criminals would not turn in their guns, and besides there's plenty of nonviolent crime.3) Would crime stop?
Probably would be a wash, since a black market for firearms would spring up quickly.4) Would crime at least lessen? If so, how much? (Guess)
No.5) Would terroristic and/or mass shootings stop?
There would be far fewer "lone wolf" shootings, and planned terror attacks would be slightly more difficult. I'd guess a 20-30% drop overall.6) Would terroristic and/or mass shootings at least lessen? If so, how much? (Guess)
Their tactics would have to change. I don't know if this would have any effect on a need to be "militantly reactive."7) Would police lose feeling the need to be militantly reactive?
Unlikely.8) Would/could we reduce the size and scope of police forces?
Those who enjoy hunting birds or big game would be unhappy.9) Would society be better off, or dare I say... happier?

when the Nazis came for the Trade unionists-I didn't object since I wasn't in a unionIt wouldn't bother me or affect me in the slightest. Also plenty of other ways to defend myself, but I've never encountered such a situation before so it's not likely to happen.

when the Nazis came for the Jews-I didn't object because I wasn't Jewish..............
Despite the foolishness of this weird post and that you had to revert to nazis symbolism to make a crude point.
You realize you defend someone who's campaign is really similar to that political party you just mentioned right?

I guess you are unaware of the origin of that famous quote
you seem not to care about erosions in civil rights because the right being attacked is one you don't care for (and living in the Peoples Collective of New Jersey-not one you really have anyway)

What the heck makes you think I have never heard that pointless ramble before? I have heard it plenty of times from tea partiers to gun nuts and conspiracy theorists alike. Still waiting for it to happen and no one has come for your guns yet, right? So no I'm not concerned with things that won't likely happen
As I have frequently mentioned as well as its in my profile on here. I am not a political activist.

so you think no one wants to ban guns
That sort of stupid claim is pretty sad given what was done in New Jersey by the scum sucker Florio
Thanks for putting words in my mouth but once again you are wrong. No one wants to ban all guns and even if they did. Wouldn't you guys get what you've always wanted anyway? An uprising militia made by a bunch of people with guns??? Yeah that's going to end well hehe
I'll just watch and laugh

I think you would hide in the closet and tremble myself :mrgreen:
Which of the militia fights in the last, say 100 years, did the militia not have guns? How did that work out for them?So you think all people who don't have guns are cowards and cannot properly defend themselves?? There's been couple of great militia fights over the years and each one was more ridiculous and funny than the last.

You think gun obsessed militias will give up their guns without a fight?? LOL HINT: That's the reason they are in militias!!!!

Here's what's missing from this thread: A person who believes in gun control coming in and saying something to the effect of, "It'd be great, and here's why..."
Maybe I should have put in in a more generic forum. :shrug:
