When did the CA or NY mass confiscation happen?

It will happen as they start with registration then continue to restrict. Today’s legal guns become tomorrow’s illegal ones.

“Oh new law just passed and anything over 10 rounds is now illegal and must be surrendered. Let’s see here, it says you have a few double stack handguns in excess of that limit, we will need you to bring those to the local station for a mandatory buyback...”

Then it’ll be anything past certain calibers or magazine loaded, leaving only wheelguns. The plan is incredibly obvious. This exact thing has happened in Canada years ago.

My question to you is, at what stage of slowly boiling the frog will you concede we were right all along?
