i.e., gun bans and "involuntary buybacks," better known as confiscation, anything even remotely resembling registration is a political non-starter.
While you may believe this is a feature, and not a bug, the vast majority of guns rights supporters will not even enter discussions with anyone proposing such draconian gun control, to say nothing of the fact that UBC legislation is almost always accompanied by other wish list gun control items like "assault weapon" bans, magazine limits, etc., that are certainly not supported by firearm owners and others, irrespective of NRA advocacy.

Anyone willing to commit violent unrest and bloodshed would do so with or without the law.

The number of gun nuts who would actually violently react is far less than you think.

Why do you pro gun people ignore the societal change inherent in this discussion?
