The President does not have the power to confiscate anything from private citizens. Only the courts can do this, and then only as punitive action due to criminal activity.
Yes, Mao Zedong did confiscate guns during his rule in China as part of his efforts to consolidate power and maintain control over the population.
To confiscate guns and gun powder stored there.
Sorry but no. Authorities can arrest you and also confiscate your BB Gun.
It depends on how it was done. However, there is no way to really confiscate ALL privately owned guns, because in the US, there is no gun registration (except for a few states) there is no real way to know the location of every gun and additionally, criminals wouldn't give up their guns voluntarily.
Australia did not confiscate their citizens' guns, as Australia's constitution requires just compensation be given for property taken over. Because of this, the government initiated a gun buyback program in 1996. The guns they obtained, nearly a million in all, were destroyed. Within the next two years risk of dying via gunshot wound in Australia fell by 50%.
No, the president is not planning to take away anyone's guns. Any legislation or executive order would be about preventing guns from being sold to criminals, improving background checks, reinstating the assault rifle ban (on future purchases) and limiting the sale of high capacity magazines. If you already have a weapon that you legally purchased, no-one is going to confiscate it.
What are you asking? There is no amendment in the U.S. constitution that allows the government to confiscate guns. The 2nd amendment guarantees U.S. citizens the right to bear arms.
