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.

How long would it take to confiscate all private owned guns?

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.


Did Australia confiscate everyone's guns?

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%.


Will President Obama try to take your AR 15s from you?

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.
