SS (which is a forced 401k)
Manditory Health Care (tells you how to spend your money)
The already existant registration for firearms (without loopholes)
Patriot Act
MMW scanner at the airport
And countless other ways the government interfere with running our lives. People are willing to compromise when they are scared, which is a reason why the gov't is pushing so hard right now. Everyone is scared and outraged, and because they are, they seem to be more willing to give up freedoms for the chance to "feel safer".
All I'm saying is that I hope for the best, while acknowledging the worst is possible. Maybe unlikely, but definitely not impossible.

Definitely never said a ban was impossible, just not assuming it's a done deal.
Like you I'm voicing my opinion...we're really all just guessing at this point.
