Confiscation? One method: just buy them back. Something like 40% of Americans don't have 500$ in excess cash. So the price point for buy backs is pretty low for a lot of people.

So what you're saying is, it's easier to violate the constitutional rights of people if they're poor and easily bribed to give up their rights?

Devils advocate: you could institute this rules for new sales, after that start banning transfers of these weapons, finally some buy-back schemes, etc. It still wouldn't work, just saying it doesn't need to be immediate confiscation.

How do you think heartland America would react to such a program?

And as usual the people who know the least about guns want to tell us what guns we can own.

You’d ask law-abiding criminals to turn them in. You’d then arrest the criminals as you came across them. This will never happen because nobody’s gonna ban all the guns. That’s a right-wing fever dream. But it’s a 5-10 year policy project.
