If all current to date firearms, ammo and mags are “grandfathtered” with no new sales, I think we’d have an uneasy peace for a while.

We have enough stocks on hand to last for decades. Mags don’t wear out quick. Ammo lasts.

But if they criminalize any legal 2012 guns, ammo or mags, all bets are off. Many will not register, and will not turn them in, period.

I’m using my oldest ammo first. I’ve been shooting re-loads from 1980. They are accurate, consistent and no failures.

What about something which was purchased/took possession of during the first 11 days of 2013?

Well, when California outlawed AK-47's (semis) many years ago, I knew some who didn't turn them in. Once Cali also outlawed certain characteristics of scary "assault weapons" and mags to 10 rounds, plus now need a "bullet button" for mag release, no one I know has turned them in. In fact, many are going over to Arizona to purchase AR's and AK's to ignore the "bullet button" mandate.

People are just ignoring these senseless laws. They want protection from either the zombies (riots), the crazies (mass shootings) or their own government. I never thought I'd see so many anti-gun folks actually purchasing arms.

So agree. Few are going to adhere to a "grandfather" clause. The weapons are out there and few are going to relinquish. Makes me laugh every time I read about "buyback" programs and they get some 500 crappy POS's, like that is going to make a difference in the inner cities. Sure all the gang members were in line to turn in their Glocks.

Los Angeles was recently bragging about getting a rocket launcher (RPG), their words, in their "buyback". Turned out to be an old rusty mortar launcher that you couldn't pour enough water through to choke a lizard. Idiots, all.

I am encouraged that the populace is waking up. Unfortunately, it took too many massacres to get them off their American Idol rears. However, I say, "Welcome to the party, pal".
