Then let's rephrase it. I'll be the government. I'd like to buy your house. I'll decide what to pay you for it. You won't be allowed to buy another.
Was your house confiscated, or not?

And, as I said before, I am not adocating confiscation of guns in America. You guys can shoot the fuck out of each other and anything that moves for all I care.
What I AM advocating is that you stop trying to recommend the reintroduction of privately held firearms into the UK, Ireland and Australia (the three countries mentioned by myself) against the wishes of the vast majority of people.

Let's analyze that statement, too.
What is being advocated is that defenseless people be allowed to protect their lives and property against the (well documented) increase in crime brought about by gun confiscations.
It is neither moral nor proper for the wishes of the majority to endanger the lives and property of the minority.
