The gigantic logic failure of gun confiscating

[TeddyR]

57. So first

Just appointing 2 Supreme Court justices doesn't guarantee you'll get Heller reversed. Despite what you think, the Supreme Court rarely reverses itself and I can't recall any instance when its done so within a decade of a ruling (though there probably is an example somewhere). And maybe you get a justice who simply understands that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. And the right case has to makes its way to the Supreme Court, which doesn't often happen. Something like 50 years passed between the Heller and the prior Supreme Court decision addressing the Second Amendment.

Second, how many Democratic members of the Senate or House do you think are going to support a law banning firearm ownership? I can't think of a single current elected official calling for a ban on private ownership of firearms. Not a single one, and you think that you are going to somehow get a majority to support confiscation? And if you are going to ban firearms and force people to turn them in then you are going to have to pay for those firearms, which is going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
