Shotguns are legal at long as they can't hold more than three shotgun shells - including the one in the chamber if it's a pump-action or semiautomatic shotgun.

Go for broke, accept concessions and take what you can. Go for broke, accept concessions and take what you can. Go for broke, accept concessions and take what you can. Go for broke, accept concessions and take what you can. Go for broke, accept concessions and take what you can.
How long before there's nothing to take? As long as it doesn't happen in my lifetime.....
I think you should have been a bit more explicit about the context in which Trump made the comment. He was referring to the nut case who shot up the school at Parkland and prefaced the comment by saying that, in a situation like Parkland, he was all for taking the kid's guns first and then go through the courts. Would you let the kid hang onto his guns while you ran him through the courts to obtain permission to take them?
I'm all about people not having anything they are truly not mentally competent to have, whether that is guns, cars, power tools, whatever. But there needs to be a fair and competent determination on mental competency.
Trump's was an emotional statement revealing his anti-gun past, made on national television. When his Vice President spoke up in defense of due process, he was shouted down with this line, on national television. IMO, this one statement fanned the flames for the Florida red-flag law that was implemented so fast the State AJ still can't fully explain it.
The more "Presidential" statement would have been along the lines of, "This is a tragedy. We need to help Parkland get through this and heal. Everyone is emotional right now, myself included. I have never experienced anything like this in my life; it's heart-breaking. What I owe you as your President is solid leadership, and to not act or speak out of emotion, but according to our great Constitution. We're going to get to the bottom of this in a systematic and Constitutional manner, and take appropriate action where it is necessary. God bless Parkland, and God bless the United States of America."
There has also been plenty of time to walk-back/clarify this statement/outburst, apologize to Pence for slamming him, and maybe even offer a little support for law-abiding gun owners who had absolutely nothing to do with this, but will suffer the repercussions, again. Nope, sorry, we'll just have to disagree and press on. Trump lived for decades as a New York democrat, and anti-gun at that. I want to believe he's the republican he says, but I can't. And yeah, I proudly voted for him, so that makes it even worse.
...maybe 200 years from now, but they WILL come for the guns. Just a matter of when.
Yep, except by then gun-control will have evolved into phaser-control.
What worries me is the fact that it's even a conversation, the fact we're talking about it means that eventually it WILL happen, maybe in my life time, maybe the next, maybe 200 years from now, but they WILL come for the guns. Just a matter of when.
