10. nobody is seriously proposing prohibition of all guns

Dec 2012

we are proposing the banning of sales of "assault weapons", and no I am not going to discuss exactly what that means, and on "high capacity magazines", and again the details are TBD.

So, normal people will be able to buy normal guns. A dozen or so whacked out RKBA absolutists will go to the mattresses and die fighting the gummint over their precious toys.

As there will continue to be a legal market for normal guns, a prohibition fueled black market will not develop. The vast majority of gun owners will be fine with the new restrictions.
