Unfortunately, the gov is getting savvy to that.

They would not likely do an outright, door to door confiscation.

However, they might do a registration on purchase and annual licensing and/or taxation scheme that gets more and more expensive. Meaning, the gov is happy to bide it’s time.

It’s nice to think that folks would revolt over such a thing but they probably won’t. Google “Whiskey rebellion” and contrast that to tobacco taxation today.

Many comfortable sheep in the country today.

Well armed sheep, however.

CT tried registration last year. Not even all weapons; just “assault” ones.

85% of the estimated owners of such weapons ignored the law. Iirc they figure it was something like 100,000 citizens with 300,00 guns.

IOW massive civil disobedience that made those 100,000 subject to prosecution on Class D felony charges.

NY State, with a similar law, has refused (afaik) to release it’s compliance data. We can assume from that it’s not in the gun grabbers’ favor and given the much larger population of NY vs CT is a much larger overall number ( in the low millions even).

Never more savvy than the “People”.
