Gun control proponents are about control, not removal.
A situation like you said would not happen overnight and in times of end times, I would see a legitimate need. Right now there is not one and if you go for gun control such as what is in the rest of the developed world. You can still own one if you want, you just need to go through extra steps.
I'm a big fan of Australia's laws and have been hunting in Australia for pest wildlife just fine.

When I hear someone say they don't want to take them, just make it a little more organized/civil/modern whatever, I always remember Canada, Australia, England. All of them started with registration, then piece by piece they banned and confiscated everything, one by one. They just recently ran an article demonizing and doxxing every owner of a bolt action hunting rifle in a state in Australia. Even if most gun grabbers only want a little gun control, there's always someone tomorrow who will want more. We've already lost too much, therefore, shall not be infringed.

I lived Australia mate.
They had a single buyback of semi-autos. Nothing else really happened since then. There is no piece by piece.
You can own all the hunting weapons you desire.
Edit:
>They just recently ran an article demonizing and doxxing every owner of a bolt action hunting rifle in a state in Australia.
Wow, an article. As much credence as your post dude.

You must have left right after 1996 because there have been 3 other gun control bills passed and 28 more gun confiscations since port Arthur.

There was one more wholesale change in Hangguns in 2002 but the laws pretty much stayed stable with only minor changes to facilitate the initial intent.
Amnesties are not buybacks, just opportunities to comply with laws on the books.

I didn't call it a buyback, because that is a misnomer. I called it a confiscation, which is what it is. The government didn't own the gun in the first place, so they can't buy it back. It's mandatory so it isn't a sale. It's a confiscation with a distraction.

Amnesty requires someone to hand something in on their own volition.

Threatening arrest if they find it otherwise is under duress. They have authority, it's still confiscation.

You don't call drug laws confiscation.
Give it a rest.

Lol they most definitely confiscate your drugs when they arrest you.

Which they do the same in the US when they find an illegal gun.
You don't say the US confiscates guns, you're trying to avoid that.
Confiscation would be cold knocking doors and conducting searches and seizing. None of that happened.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Sure, here it's usually required to commit some other real crime for them to confiscate your guns. But it clearly definitely happens. I must have edited my previous post after you clicked it. Please check it.
