    It is impossible to present a sound argument that the AR15 is not "In common use for legal purposes".
    Thus, it is impossible to soundly argue that the AR15 is not a "bearable arm".
    As we know, all "bearable arms" are protected by the 2nd.

    So this law you suggest would only ban Colt AR-15s? What about other 5.56×45mm, magazine-fed, gas-operated semi-automatic rifles?

    Not really. Our "child injury rate" with firearms is very, very low. In fact, guns are one of the safest items you can have in your house when it comes to kids if you look at the injury rate. More kids die from drowning in 5 gallon buckets than in firearms accidents.

    I always find it amusing how it's the gun haters that always try to sexualize gun ownership....

    As they have nothing meaningful to say, they resort to the ad hom.

    Ok, that says to me it would work. Your use of the word honest is always the give away.

    Or they Infantilize gun ownership, or paint gun owners as stereotypical morons, assorted cretins, alcoholics, rednecks, hooligans, Brigands, cavemen, mental deficients, criminals etc...

    Hey Chuck; long time no see. To answer your question, there is no "magic wand" to make nearly a half billion guns disappear as that would be a fantasy dream to say the least. However over time, with no guns being manufactured and law abiding citizens turning in what they are not permitted to have, over time guns will be far and few in this country.

    I'm sure most states maintain a state police force or county deputies who can handle the calls.

    Even if your could achieve your totalitarian wet dream, how would you prevent firearms from being manufactured.

    And also, if no firearms were being manufactured, how would the military and civilian police get their firearms?

    Law enforcement gets there in time only to clean up the aftermath. People have a right to defend themselves.

    I can only hope your totalitarian dream never comes to pass, and if anyone ever tries it may they be hung for treason against the Constitution.

    Correct. 10 year olds can and are manufacturing submachine guns etc. in small shops with forges all over the world.
    Business for them has been hurt by the glut of black market military weapons since the fall of the USSR.

    All talk of gun bans and gun control is irrational nonsense.

    Chinese made AKs are nicer, chrome lined barrels and cute but impractical 75 round drums.....

    They illegally import Cocaine,
    I am sure a side order of guns and explosives, is possible too.

    Pump-action shotguns -- how long before a ban?

    Try never in a Million years.

    It has been promised since I wore Diapers and will not happen even when I am resting in a pine box, perhaps in Larchmount cemetery.

    The pump shotgun will be replaced by some fancy advanced energy pulse weapon or phaser etc....

    The question revolves around the specific shotgun mentioned in the OP
