confiscation would be relatively easy as was done with "assault weapons" in california.


As is often the case, you are misinformed. Confiscation has been and is being proposed in CA, but it has never been passed by the state legislature nor has it ever been signed into law. The CA "assault weapons" ban did not require confiscation, but prevents the sale or transfer of certain guns within the state. Owners of grandfathered or banned guns are free to move them out of state or to sell them to buyers in other states.
