They will all be challenged in court and the more challenges, the more chances of a judicial smackdown.

I'm concerned that it won't get that far.

This is a complete non-starter in MO, given the partisan makeup of the state government. It's likely a non-started in MN as well.

So why push not only confiscation, but do it in a way that shows obvious national collusion and is therefore incredibly antagonistic to a situation where tension and emotions are already running high?

The answer is simple: provoke some sort of armed outburst by one or more people in the pro-Second Amendment camp. If not a series of armed outbursts. To be blunt, the Left is now directly fomenting and inciting a situation what WILL result in an eruption. God help us all ...

Precisely. This is provocation, pure and simple.

The Left is pushing for an incident. They have made out gun-owners to be violent cretins who actually believe that religious stuff and the Constitution as written. Hillbillys and hicks in flyover country, and people they think they can manipulate.

Don't let 'em, and watch them get ever more shrill. Sooner or later it will dawn on the fence-sitters that these people are nuts.

We're smarter than they think.

Unrest is exactly what they want. Then they can use that to sic the media and the Feds and SPLC, etc on it in an effort to change public opinion and claim domestic terrorism. The demographics of those pushing this need to be exposed in their entirety....their politics, religion, ideologies, background, etc. There is a concerted effort by elites who pull the strings of the Democrats to disarm average Americans. That is their goal.
