Read The Bill
So it begins.
Will it pass?
This idea blatantly violates the Ex Post Facto clause in the Constitution. These idiot people do not realize that they are completely violating the Constitution.
King George did this to us. He would arbitrarily demand something that took a man who was in compliance with the law on one day and make him a criminal the next. They can legally pass laws (maybe) that out law certain weapons but because you own one before the effective date of the law you are supposed to be left alone about it.
These damn fools.

So how many people here who own one of these weapons are going to hand them in?
Failing that,
How many people here are going to engage in a gun battle to the death with state/federal forces who attempt to relieve you of your constitutional right to bear arms?

Being a Missouri resident I can say this (at least for the area I live in and around) there is no way they will be taking any firearm in this area. I do not think a lot of the hillbillies and rednecks most of the time just because of our differences, but I can say they will not let a gun be taken from them.
Many around here did things in their younger years and still do today things that are very near making them criminals anyway. They are a very rough crowd that take little slack from people looking to impose their ideas on them. Many are still not really good at interacting with those deemed more civil than them. Instead of talking things out they fight them out.
That said I will bring this to the eyes of a few who will in turn spread the word. There are a few things you do not mess with when it comes to rednecks, hillbillies, and cowboys, and that is you do not touch their beer, their women, their kids, or their guns. I am sure there are a few places within driving distance that would just as soon hang someone coming for their gun as to talk to them. For what it is worth even though these people make me nervous when they are out drinking (why I stopped partying long ago) I feel safe in knowing that I support their right to own guns. If you support their cause they will support you.

If you look at the Presidential election you basically see the same pattern in every state. Even in my state that is true blue (Washington) The blue is around Seattle and the rest of the state is red. Down near Vancouver Washington it is very red, but populations of the big cities determine what direction the state goes.
The interesting part is big Unions and subsistence living populates much of what we see as big cities, and that is what ends of controlling the direction of our country.
