Oh come on, Hotspring; that is a reckless and totally untrue slogan from the Right Wing and pro-gun lobby.
Which government, federal, state, county, or city, ANYWHERE in the US has tried to confiscate guns? I would really like to eat some humble pie on this because to the best of my knowledge I have never heard of such a thing. Sure, there might be some exceptional situations where the government confiscates guns from criminals like McVeigh but aside from that I'm completely unaware of any attempt by any government to systematically confiscate people's guns.
Not only is that ugly accusation trite, it is TOTALLY false.
