Banning all private ownership of firearms in this county would be impossible, not to mention political suicide. We are much bigger than Germany, England or Australia. Collecting 270 million guns already in private ownership is not politically or logistically practical, and I think too many of us would rather be called criminals than turn them in (in violation of the Constitution I might add). I do however think the administration could try to prevent future sales and purchases to unlicensed individuals.
The word they will seize on is REGULATED (as in "well regulated militia"). The govenment will claim they have the right to regulate gun ownership, even though it is an individual right. What no one will realize is that back in 1776, "regulated" meant "trained and disciplined". I don't hear anyone making this argument. If you substitute the word "trained" for "regulated, it makes perfect sense.
My predictions for 2013:
1. The "assault" rifle ban will be reinstated, without an expiration date.
2. Hi-cap mags will be permanently banned, I only pray the limit is not less than 10.
3. If we can hold them at this and no more ... everything will be fine.
4. The mass media buffoons will continue their Chicken Little gun control talk.
