[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the upcoming Senate Bill #16,  looks like the Dems will attempt to ban most guns, making a lot of VA citizens into felonies overnight.  
[b][u]We have a collection of antique guns with bayonet mounts, this will force us to sell or keep outside of VA[/u][/b].  All or nothing... is there really no middle ground in gun control?

The definition of an "assault weapon" in the proposed SB-16 covers only "semi-automatic, center-fire" rifles. Under both Virginia and federal law, an antique firearm is defined as being made on or before December 31, 1898. I've been collecting antique guns for many years, and have yet to see any semi-automatic center-fire rifles made before that date.

As to there being a "middle ground on gun control"......I suppose that there could be. The problem is that there are some people out there who are doing everything they can to make it illegal for private citizens to possess any firearms at all. And they won't budge in their belief that nobody except the police and military should have guns. Just take the time to read some of the really crazy posts on this board and you'll see what I mean.[/quote]

The way the gun nuts and NRA have framed the debate, you can not take a gun away from known terrorist. It’s an all or nothing fight. All reasonable restrictions are fought tooth and nail. So when the day comes and it’s coming, you and op will have no say in how guns are regulated/restricted. Australia is coming and it’s your own fault.

We have guns.  You don’t want us to have them.  We won’t give them up under any circumstance.

Your move.[/quote]

I'd say a middle ground is you have youre guns and you're not allowed to give them to anyone.[/quote]
