Arlene: good old Salty over there was just attempting to be clever; which failed, miserably. Most Leftists, to their credit, understand that to actually promote the confiscation of American's God-given right to protect themselves, enshrined in the 2nd Amendment, is illegal and would spell political suicide (as Mark Begich learned the hard way by supporting Leftist Billionaire Michael Bloomberg's anti-2nd Amendment group 'Mayors Against Illegal Guns').

Instead- politicians try other means to erode the 2nd Amendment- and thank God most of their efforts have failed.  A Washington politician proposed police home searches to enforce gun registration. Many have tried banning semi-automatic guns-which includes rifles and shotguns, imposing subjective and arbitrary magazine size limits, Seattle imposed overtly burdensome ammo and gun taxes; and California, well- it doesn't take much to find what they do to attack personal rights.
