If they ban something, especially in blue states, we will be talking about confiscation or, if you are lucky, confiscation with a few bucks of compensation.
I've actually been thinking about this. Lets say a semi-auto ban is enacted in all the Congressional Panic and they set a date of 1/01/2020 to begin confiscation.
All semi-autos must be dropped off somewhere, but until that date you are free to buy and sell as before.
Do you dump most of your collection into the hands of new shooters that were never able to purchase some classic platforms at a reasonable price (vs. 0 dollars for confiscated firearms)
and sell to those that would be most likely to resist a turn-in? I.E "Spreading Freedom..."
While I think the likelihood of this is very, very small, a country-wide demand by a spun-up populace could bend it that way. All we need is a few more "special events" and it could happen.
So what do you think? Sell now or turn in later sans compensation...
