The point is that they don't need to incarcerate millions, just enough examples.

I don't think you have thought this through. "JUST ENOUGH EXAMPLES"? Say 500,000 examples? Ten thousand per state? That's conservatively only ONE PERCENT of US gunowners. 500,000 accused felons, each one claiming his Constitutional right to bear arms and supported with a flood of money by the NRA, numerous other conservative groups, and fine folks like you and I, would create complete federal judicial gridlock. Things go down-hill from there...

Well I don't think you've thought this through.

These gun confiscation orders will come down AFTER possession has been outlawed by the Congress and signed by the President, and that could easily happen if the GOP loses the house.

Additionally, SCOTUS is looking at overturning the past individual right in favor of the left's collective right for the military to have your gun. If Roberts backstabs like Obamacare, 2A for the people is entirely gone.

Those 500,000 would already be felons for NOT turning in their guns, they'll get no help from anybody.

Even if Congress outlaws just one model of firearm as an "assault weapon", the first arrest will go to court and run the risk of SCOTUS eventually overturning the individual right, in which case all guns are by government permission and whim. When the left has the power to deny permission on whatever offends them what happens?
