No, but that's because they were all lost in a boating accident. Pops told me it was a bad idea to take AK's, AR's and MAC10 and a couple pistols boating, but I never listen.

This poll is silly in that there is no reason whatsoever to believe the federal government would or could (at least in the foreseeable future) pass legislation calling for a turn-in. It seems to me this poll is just a dog whistle to get people to pull out their e-peens and declare that they will fend off the feds with a hail of bullets (particularly in light of the "No, over my dead body" option). Unsurprisingly, mission accomplished.
I highly doubt a single of these guys would actually die with their firearms in their hands. If anything they'll be wetting their panties the moment ATF breaks down their doors--hypothetical of course....

it would be an unenforeceable law hence poll is irrelevant.
Laws require en"force"ment agents, there is no police body that I know of that has the size and resolve to sieze ~300 million weapons from ~80 million weapons owners.
I suspect that if the following would happen.
#1- The 2nd Amendment was repealed by a new Amendment or SCOTUS changes it mind and declares that the 2nd Amendment is no longer a individual right.
#2- The government was to declare that if you turn in your guns you get X amount of compensation during this time period. However after the time period has expired no more compensation and if you are found to have weapons in your home you will be charged with a felony for each firearm most people would probably turn in their guns.
I think some people talk a big game but when faced with either a felony criminal charges or turn in your guns for compensation probably a good % would turn them in.
However this type of scenarion is extremly unlikely. I suspect that their is enough states that support gun right there wouldn't get enough states to ratify a new Amendment to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
However since the original Heller decision was close 5-4. I suspect that at some point depending on SCOTUS appointments that this could be revisited and it could go the other direction in the future. This could open the door to further restrictions.
They already somewhat successfully did this in new orleans with katrina.
It might be an unenforceable law this very moment, but I suspect we will see a push for this during most of our lifetimes.
How about you go troll elsewhere rather than constantly being up on my e-penis all the time?
I seriously wonder if you have some notification setup so you can reply to my posts with multiple paragraphs of 2nd year law student drivel that essentially says the same thing over.. and over.. and over. You need to take this to L&R rather than follow me around in P&N and OT. Personally I kind of like the attention, but it brings down the quality of our dear forum.

Thats a pretty terrible example.
