Here is how "I" think it would go down.
First the scales have to tip just alittle more of general public opinion towards stricter gun control laws. Much stricter.
It will start, like it is now with certain "types" of guns. New ones being labled as the latest "killing machine", "weapon of war", "military grade", "child killer", "of no hunting use" or some other buzz word or term that even hasnt been thought up yet.
As those buzz terms spread throught the gun brand and type/style and the demonizing is close to being done. You will see legislation passed based on this as it tugs at the progressives heart strings.
As fewer and fewer conservatives vote and split into different minor parties, killing chances of true conservatives. The progressives in the democratic party will have a free hand to make many federal laws pertaining to guns spread from state to state. They will call it the will of the people.
And because they are winning elections, it kind of will be.
Then comes the actual ban.
Say its a list of "assault weapons", but now fully expanded to include many types and brands of guns.
Not just ARs and AKs and such.
Grandfathering in? Na, not a chance.
My money is it will be a 90 to 120 day grace period to turn them in or have them picked up.
Bounties will be offered after that for anyone who turns in a person that has held on to his.
Coming to "get them", thats another whole can of worms.
Police? Our Military? (illegal by the way), UN troops?
How many of our military or police will do it? That is another debate. I know some that will have no problem doing it, but I know many that will refuse and not do it. May even walk off the job.
Question.
At what point do you think there will be actual blood in the streets in revolt?
