They won't "confiscate" anything, at least not with a midnight SRT visit to your house.
They don't have to - the law effectively keeps anybody with an unregistered "assault weapon" from ever leaving the house with it - mission accomplished.
Take your unregistered "assault weapon" to the range, or gun shop, or rifle match, or *anywhere* - then officer friendly shows up quietly with his buddies to check your registration status and *boom* the rifle is confiscated and you go to jail, having done absolutely nothing wrong. The cases will take decades to appeal, and the state has your gun in the meantime.
Nobody gets hurt, and the state gets their point across -one gun owner at a time.
...then officer friendly shows up quietly with his buddies to check your registration status and *boom* the rifle is confiscated and you go to jail, having done absolutely nothing wrong.
A few days later some of YOUR buddies pick off Officer Friendly and his buddies from ambush on their way to work, and the bureaucrat who sent them just disappears.
Nobody Gets Hurt,,,,
Just relax,
watch the game.
