Do you support the confiscation of all currently legal firearms? [View all]

Private ownership of firearms would be made illegal, and then the firearms that were once legal would be confiscated through whatever means the government deemed best.

If you feel this poll is poorly made, I will try to be open to critiques, but I may not change it if many people have already voted.

eta: On duty police, military, etc., are exempt from this confiscation.

Some have said as much right here on the DU. I wonder, though.... NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #1

Are the firearms they use on the job privately owned? ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #2

The poll question is a bit vague in any event. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #3

I mentioned "privately owned" in the text, but I will add your imput. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #5

Is the edit more clear? nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #6

Oh yes much better, thanks. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #9

Thanks for the imput. Making fair political polls can be challanging. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #15

depends on the PD gejohnston Apr 2013 #4

Ah. I edited the poll OP text to clearly exempt on duty police, etc. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #7

I asked graham4anything in GD, and now I'll ask you the same question. slackmaster Apr 2013 #10

I don't support gun confiscation, but I felt that police officers, etc., should be exempt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #13

Interesting. I just assumed they were all State issued. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #14

No. Only flaming kooks support confiscation of legally owned firearms, or of anything else. slackmaster Apr 2013 #8

Problem is, armueller2001 Apr 2013 #12

There's a word that accurately describes that situation. slackmaster Apr 2013 #17

Confiscation with compensation? krispos42 Apr 2013 #16

I didn't think of that. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #18

Where are all the DUers who were wanting all guns banned and collected? n-t Logical Apr 2013 #20

Strange...... I think I only saw one such comment. nt rdharma Apr 2013 #21

They're cowering in their "safe haven," unwilling or unable to make convincing arguments in favor... slackmaster Apr 2013 #22

There are only a handful when it comes to handguns. A lot more when it comes to assault weapons. n hack89 Apr 2013 #29

Which is odd because handguns kill many more people. n-t Logical Apr 2013 #33

Logic and gun control don't always go together. nt hack89 Apr 2013 #35

Including assault weapons? The present number in circulation is OK? hack89 Apr 2013 #30

I don't have guns to take, so I know no group of DUers will take my guns, ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #31

I don't support the confiscation of anything tularetom Apr 2013 #27

Not all but certainly the vast majority. bowens43 Apr 2013 #28

don't think of it as confiscation-think of it as mandatory voluntary surrender bubbayugga Apr 2013 #36

Of course criminals will not voluntarily surrender their firearms. ... spin Apr 2013 #37
