What Would Happen if the Right to Bear Arms was Taken Away.

That's doubtful.

I know of one dealer who helps supply both "the family" and the police, so that seizure would sure be interesting.

My normal attire would certainly get a lot less fuzzy and maul-capable...

I think the right to arm bears should certainly be taken away, however. Bears are not our friends, I assure you. The enemy within

I've seen a guy down the road take his shot gun out of the gun rack on his truck on the way in his home. He doesn't leave home without it and doesn't stay home without it. Some people are seriously attached to their guns; like a member of their family. I don't see some people giving them up without a fight.

That would likely come down to who had the best element of surprise.

You bet, and those kind of people never pull weapons out of holsters until/unless they intend to shoot ... and then they do.

After much protest and rioting in the streets, the law-abiding citizens would probably either emigrate or give in to the new law.

As happens in the UK, the non law-abiding citizens would effortlessly and mysteriously still obtain guns readily and carry them without a permit. Gun trade would continue; it would just go underground. The rest of the population would be unarmed and defenceless in the face of violent yobs:

Thank you, that is exactly the picture in my mind that I had when I posted the topic and spelled it wrong. My thought was we don't have the right to "Bear arms". We can't have Bear arms.

I guess one would be required to bare their hidden guns if the police came to confiscate them.

So, the country would be forced to bare arms, instead of having the right to bear arms.

So does that mean I have to begin shaving them?

Good. Better. Bear. topic

Might be more bear bellies along with those bear arms. Harder to hold/fire guns.

One that is forced to shave his hairy arms is also forced to bare his arms.

Actually it depends on who might take the country over and how well they understand English and the instructions from their superiors.

If it is aliens they might have also have the right to serve man.......on a platter.

May also lead to more 'Bears'

Their countries aren't under the same circumstances when it comes to the socioeconomic and subcultural side of things. Shootings don't happen all over the states, they mostly happen in impoverished neighbourhoods and are mostly done with illegally obtained guns. All this has nothing to do with the legality of guns. Also if there's a will there's a way.

Besides the fact that most crooks get records during their teenage years which make em ineligible to buying guns, legally buying em leaves behind a paper trail of sales transactions. Also being a registered gun owner puts you into the database. Why leave all those traces behind when you can just buy a snub .38 off the streets and throw it away or sell it after you're done with it?

Not that you think guns should be illegal, but I'm just challenging the assumptions of those who think not having the right to bear arms isn't a problem.

There is always a precedence of cultural acceptance set before these laws become practical to implement so if it ever got to that point then no there would be no major revolution.

Hair Apparent topic

What is Pedro Bear holding?

The government can’t really take the right away from the citizens but it can legally (read that ILLEGALY) bar them from practicing it.
Anyhow, it would create an instant and very lucrative black market and all that comes with black marketing. It would make the war on drugs seem like childsplay.
I can’t see LE’s or National Guard participating for long because most of them with a lick of sense would resign if not out of moral principal then in fear of their lives.
The violent crime we have now would soar and in addition to that there would be an entirely new class of “criminal” born of the total ban.
The gun industry would collapse and add to the unemployment. Not just the actual firearm manufacturers but there is a huge industry for accessories, retail, and ammunition, too.
Even rumor about any kind of ban instantly triggers hording.
Just as an example, about the time that Obama took office in ’09 the gun shops were pretty much cleaned out of anything considered desirable an the ammo for them as well. Even reloading components were hard to find. One shop here was rationing primers to 200 per customer when they could even get them to stock the shelves with (typically primers are purchased in cases of 1,000 and as many cases as you can afford).
It took over a year to recover from the shortages and it spawned countless NEW gun owners.
People that I never would have thought of to become gun owners all the sudden became gun owners.
I’ve also noticed that they not only are aware that it’s their right but why it’s their right which is the most important thing.
The attitudes of new and veteran gun owners has become more, for lack of a better term, dynamic........
