[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interested in what your average DC urban professional feels about this question:

If you are in favor of banning certain firearms (i.e.- AR15s) and accessories (magazines taking over a magical 10 rounds, flash suppressors, folding stocks,etc)...what should be done with the tens of MILLIONS of these arms and perhaps hundreds of MILLIONS of these accessories that are already in legal private ownership?

(a) enforce Mandatory relinquishing, (i.e. Confiscation)
(b) Unconditionally grandfather 
(c) Conditionally grandfather 
(d) other---- please explain

This is not a  right or wrong or gotcha question. People always talk about banning but the question posed here is rarely broached or answered.[/quote]

Of the things you list, I'd only support a ban on mags over 10-12 rounds.

How to implement?  I'd be in favor of a government-funded buy-back program or exchange, where owners get their $$$ refunded or get equivalent value of merchandise.

After a reasonable period (say 2 years?) of this program, higher capacity magazines would be illegal and possession would result in fine for first offenses, with increasing penalties for multiple or repeated violations.[/quote]
