Originally Posted By utahjosh <What if they change the law such that you no longer own them legally?> That 2nd amendment is pretty straight forward. The supreme court recently upheld it and made it clear. If they change that law, i'd have a hard time giving up the gun.

Originally Posted By utahjosh <But then you'd no longer be a "law-abiding" gun owner, now would you?> Nope. And it's a very good question. Part of my beliefs is set on being a good citizen, and law abiding. Another part of me knows that owning that Gun is a right I have in the American I know and love. If that right were to be taken away, the American I know and love might not be there anymore.

Doing so would self incriminate you, which is a violation of the 5th ammendment. The courts have already determined that. Besides, Palin's statement refered to keeping guns away from the mentally ill and those 'threating to kill people', a phrase which was conveniently left off the original post.

Originally Posted By hightp ^^True point, but after the amnesty, you would have no responsibility to turn anything in. Of course, if you were caught, you'd be held in violation, unless the other revolutionaries rescued you.
