1. The Attorney General of NY will receive a 'tip' that a person has an 'illegal' firearm.
2. He will then seek a warrant based on the tip to search the persons home and businesses.
3. They will confiscate the firearm.
4. The Attorney General will file charges against the ONE individual and a COMPLIANT press will destroy the person. He'll be charged with weapons offenses with a possible sentence of 10-20 years.
5. He will stand trial. He will be found guilty. Even if the jury acquits him the liberal judge will over turn the verdict.
6. He will be sentenced to 10 years in jail.
7. They will then issue a warning that EACH and every 'illegal' gun owner will suffer the same fate.
8. End of story. The guns will come flooding in.
9. Liberals win without ever firing a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“3. They will confiscate the firearm.”
In one out of 5 cases there will be a dead LEO... JMHO
So you don't think even a handful of gun owners will go Dorner on the authorities? Or a dozen? A dozen dozen?
#5 can’t happen
Nothing will go through Congress or the White House. Instead all these totalitarian regulatory agencies will fire up and make rules and come for guns.
The flip side of your scenario is that one innocent citizen, perhaps even a child, is killed by the storm troopers of the BATF&EIEIO. The backlash would turn the confiscators into trophies in open season. Even the vast majority of libs would tell them to stand down but at that point you wouldn’t find anyone to be on the gun grab team. I have yet to find anyone in any uniform say they would confiscate the first one. Not happening. The last figure I heard was 65 million sold since Nov. 2008. The paperwork on just those would deforest the country.
Sure
Nope. They don’t win this one. They might could have done that 20 years ago, the people pretty much did as the media wanted. Our biggest weapon has been the internet, and if they tried to silence it now, they would be eaten by their own.
The Judge would need to work out of a bunker.
You would have an easier time impoverishing the people by wrecking the economy and then having gun buy back programs because people need the spare cash.
Picking the low-hanging fruit won’t empty the orchard.
