What if firearm manufacturers did this?

[O2HeN2]

Just wondering aloud...

What if the gun and magazine manufacturers sold guns and magazines with a legal, binding restriction that they cannot be used by any governmental agency in an area where the guns and magazines cannot be legally possessed by ordinary citizens. With a contractual incentive (say, a cool million dollars per contractual violation) to stay within the bounds of the contract. If you buy, you agree to the contract.

This contractual obligation would have to be durable and transfer with the firearm no matter how many times it’s sold (I hate to add stamped text on the firearm, but that would do it).

I think you’d see magazine bans and firearm restrictions vanish overnight, because the police would have to get on our side if they want their toys.

Either that, or one heck of a lot of firearm companies are going vanish if a civilian ban on firearms materializes and they can only sell to the government, which is a drop in the bucket of sales.

Seems to me such a move made immediately would be in the firearm industry's best interest.

I think it's dumb, but just thinking aloud.

Yhea, something really went sideways in the browser when I posted. If possible keep this one, I fixed up the spacing.

Too much money involved to do that.

Why? Who would this benefit?

If a complete US ban on firearms ownership ever happens the firearms industry worldwide would implode. So long term the companies would benefit versus going out of business. So it's in their own self-interest.

With citizens reaping a secondary benefit in that if the police want the toys, the citizens have to be able to own and buy the toys as well.

If there is ever a complete ban on firearms in the US a lot of other bad things will have happened first so no the firearms industry wouldn't implode, we'd just return to the old "State Run Armory" model and the Fed.Gov would just nationalize the segments of the firearms industry it needs to arm its Junta.

The idea is completely unenforceable.

I normally don't reply to assertions without a reason behind them, but why?
