I don't think we will see confiscation and I really don't even see a Federal ban on AR's and the like.

Right now the Federal strategy seems to be to get the states to do it. that is, to provide all the support they can to any state legislature or Governor who wants to institute draconian gun control.

I THINK Obama's handlers and advisors {especially including Bill Clinton who remembers '94} are making it clear gun control is bad juju for Federal Congressmen and Presidents to-boot.

Watch the methods being used by the Hussein Regime in Colorado.

Anyway, there are currently millions now, if interpolation from the the last report from BATFE is accurate, of AR type rifles in private hands in the USA and that is not even counting the AK's and other high cap semiautos out there.

Here, and granted...it's Idaho...but pretty much everybody I know has one or more of the above. Our state, and many others, would be a mess of bookkeeping and etc, and yes, the "etc" part is likely IMO, for the Feds if the Feds started a confiscation program...and I cannot see the state doing it anytime soon.

True, we have a Socialist Governor {member of the Republican party, too} and I would put nothing past him if the Feds "demanded" something...anything...of him, but at this point, the Legislature would never go along with it.

Having said all that.....

Tho I do not own any 9.3x57 rifles anymore {I still have my pet 16" bbl 9.3x62 for my more or less annual bear}, all 9.3's make great "legislation-proof" firearms and .375 bullets can be sized dow and .35 cal bullets paper-patched UP to shoot in them, not to mention casting.
