I am not waiting for people that own AR's to convert at all. I think we can have bolt action rifles, shotguns and pistols all with small magazines, clips or chambers and cut down on the mass shootings and the numbers of killed at a shooting quite a bit and still keep the "right to bear arms" for protection and hunting. The possibility of using arms to oppose the government if it becomes tyrannical is ludicrous at best.
