The Second Amendment is holding them off.
Yes, when the suck bags in the government try a major gun grab, then we will see how much resistance they will get from the people.
The Feds don’t realize how many police, sheriffs, et al support law abiding gun owners. They want them on their side when SHTF.
Look to the example of deep, deep Blue Connecticut in trying to enforce it’s post-Newtown registration and control laws.
Massive non-compliance, 85% of covered gun owners ignoring the law. When the State Government did try to go after non-compliant gun owners (those who had started to register, had provided their info but missed the deadline) there was both in state and out of state threats of civil disobedience.
There are well over 300 million guns in the hands of 100 million gun owners in the US. If the authorities move forward with any sort of confiscation effort even a small % of those resisting using their guns will end up with a lot of people dead. Including a lot of cops.
The cops know this. They also know that the officials who would order them to begin confiscations are the same ones hanging them out to dry with this BLM stuff.
If this really goes down, an no one should want it to, it’ll be an absolute nightmare. But no one should assume the cops will just salute and follow the orders of politicians they know hold them in disdain and have no regard for their lives.
