So much for that.

And the other 3rd are quietly losing their weapons in the woods and over the side of boats.

Never give an order that you know won’t be obeyed...

I believe the whole idea may be to pass so many laws that nobody could possibly obey them all. You could then round up anybody you want at any time.

I believe Sun Tsu said something along those lines. It severely weakens a leader.

"What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand?"

That is a great point. You have a firearm? Well I see you haven’t been properly disposing your used motor oil. That carries a fine of $2,000.

This is where our Rule of Law begins to crumble. Our government loses its legitimacy when the citizenry no longer recognizes or respects its authority.
An illigitimate government is destined for a people’s revolt.
When the government can pass laws that make otherwise law abiding citizens criminals, they can enforce them judiciously as they see fit. A Scooter Libby can do jail time whilst a Sandy Burglar gets a dunce hat. A politician can evade taxes while a middle class family man can be jailed for tax filing errors and penalty fee defaults.

My philosophy also. But you take what circumstances and opportunity dictate.

Yep, there are so many laws now that we are all guilty of something. The result is we are all subject to selective and subjective police state harassment, fines, imprisonment, etc.

They will turn your children and grandchildren into informants in the schools. They will offer big rewards for anonymous leads. They will take your house, car, and savings if you are caught with an illegal gun.
Now, if the government writes laws to confiscate your guns, will you cooperate?

Here’s another factoid: 100% of thugs, gangbangers, criminals and low lives will not comply either. They don’t give a dang about the laws that are currently on the books, nor will they give two hoots about any new ones.
