Well, let's talk about fully auto weapons
Fully auto weapons, and parts used to convert semi-autos to fully-autos, manufactured after....sometime in 1986, I forget the exact date....are outright banned for civilian trade. So...that parts already been done.
Now, sure, we still have existing stock manufactured before the previously mentioned date. You can freely trade (with the right permits, federal registration, and taxes) but with zero input of new supply, the market-value for a civilian-ownable, fully automatic, legal firearm has risen to ~$20-30k, where a semi-auto model could be had for <$1k. How do you remove this stock from the market? Do you just tell everyone "we're taking several tens of thousands of dollars of stuff from you, tough stuff, you get nothing" ? I can't see any case how I would support something like that. Does the government pay everyone 20-30k a pop for their existing full auto weapons? I don't see many people supporting that.

yeah, it was actually a pretty well articulated post that answered my questions other than that.
