I’ve been saying that all along.
How many “confiscation” missions could your average troop/whatever carry out before he was a statistic?
Three? Four?
Not very good odds.
Same thing with looters and zombies.
Casualties amongst those type would be incredibly high, the easiest thing at first is to kill each other for what little is left.
Once won gets to be an old fart, the mission becomes clear....
Don’t forget that IEDs may become the new Welcome Mat.
I guess the assumption is that the typical gun owner will just hunker down in his own home and wait for the confiscators to arrive in the middle of some night.
Doesn't sound like a good plan to me. If I hadn't lost all of my guns in an unfortunate boating accident, I would just turn them all in and avoid all the trouble.
Even if a cop or soldier took guns successfully from the first few homes, a phone call down the street would get him killed and the guns returned to the rightful owner. No cop or soldier makes enough to know he’s going to die...
