I predict, they will not come for your guns. They don’t have the numbers to get it done. The method they will use is quite simple and requires very few people to be effective: it will work something like this; deadlines for turning in registered guns will be set and if citizens fail, first fine is $5000, second failure $10,000 etc. The have the power to electronically remove funds from your security accounts with a few keystrokes on a remote computer—this means from your checking account, savings, or by wage garnishment. This is how they will work it. Very few will be willing to go all in cash, and when you do withdraw more than 10K, current laws require reporting. I guarantee taking your money, wages, property will be a very powerful incentive to submit. Think about how to escape this tyranny—these bastar*s will kill you with swat teams if you resist. They have all the latest technology in their favor.
The problem is they have to prove you have the guns. With no registration you could have sold them years ago.
You’ve already surrendered, apparently. Got yourself good and convinced that resistance to tyranny is futile.
That’s fine. Not everyone’s cut out to fight. Turn your guns in now. Maybe the crocodile will eat you last.
You're very right. Given the choice of turning in weapons ... and watching your kids go hungry ... I'm not sure I wouldn't choose to turn them in and find another way.
Unfortunately, when you turn them in but hold one back ... when you shoot the robber on Monday evening with it ... when his brother comes on Tuesday evening you will be out of luck.
Then it’s time to develop counter-technology and fast.
Au contraire, mon Ami - they will, and do indeed have the means to get the guns. Once their expiration date for whatever (short!) allowance they grant to meet their edicts, then beside the ruinous fines will be princely rewards to the comrades to turn in their neighbours, along with grandiose MSM exposure of the 'compound' they helped take down.
America has had it easy over the past hundred or so years; the last group that was forced out of our society were the Japanese in WWII, and for the most part they were treated kindly. Still they lost their property and lands, were forced to vacate their towns for relocation to where they owned nothing and had to rely on the benevolence of FedGov for their very sustenance. Much of the large towns and villages of Europe experienced the same with extreme violence, and those that fled had nothing. The strong survived by preying on the weak, as will happen here.
I pray for America and its Constitution.
Then the key-strokers and their supervisors need to be terminated on their way to or from work. The same as those who would "come for our guns" would be. You don't face a superior force alone with no hope of winning, you pick them off one or a few at time.
Wait a minute, aren't they non-combatants? No, they chose to help the regime opress us.
