It won't be LEOs coming from door to door to collect the guns. It will be more likely in the form of a letter:

Dear Comrade Citizen It has come to the attention of the Heimatsicherheitdeinst that you are in possession of one or more firearms. You will deliver same to the local Polizeiamt within 24 hours. Liens has been placed against your house and all your other property, and all your accounts have been frozen until you comply. All Hail the State!

The removal of all liberals and their prodigy would usher in utopia. Isn’t that what the liberals want:-)

The question of the day for the left is, are you willing to die trying to take away the 2nd Amendment rights and/or the guns of Americans?

I believe you are right that they will follow orders, but they will soon run out of confiscators.

The question is will enough people care and do anything, or will we roll over and do nothing?

Exactly what line in the sand will be too much and people decide to revolt? Frankly I don’t know the answer and wonder if there are really enough people left that would be willing to start something. Or have we become too docile to care enough?

We have let the Left gradually since 1933 Socialize this Nation, we have let the incremental Progressive Politics permeate everywhere. We won’t even demand change to things like Health Care and other issues that could be changed.

Have we become just too lazy to pay attention? I often wonder if there are too many distractions and people are so confined to their own little worlds that they have really forgotten the Big Picture?

The only real change that will happen is the one when we finally collapse from all the Debt and Health Care Costs.

At that point I fully expect this country to breakup into it’s own natural sections and we will have the choice to live in the section that mirrors the politics and values we have.

Gun Control could be that spark but then again it may be something else entirely.

They will run out of gun confiscators within the first 36 hours.

...The one thing that could actually work: protect the schools. We protect our banks, celebrities, and politicians with guns. We protect our children with… signs...

... I am 61 years old. I grew up in a rural area of west-central New Jersey. When I was a boy, all the households around me had a gun or two. We boys used to stack up hay-bales and put targets on them (a charcoal briquette was a favorite choice) to shoot at with a .22.

Schools and scout-troops often had rifle ranges; I myself got a marksmanship Merit Badge while at summer camp with the Boy Scouts. I don’t recall being aware of any gun laws at all; you could buy ammo at the general store. (Gun safety was a big deal, though, and kids were taught to handle firearms carefully and respectfully.)

This was the state of normal (non-urban, middle-class, predominantly white) American culture half a century ago. Guns were an unexceptional part of that bygone world, and were easily accessible to all of us (you could order pretty much any gun you liked through the mail, by sending cash in an envelope!). Somehow, though, we hardly ever murdered each other, and mass shootings were very, very rare.

Something has changed, obviously. And it isn’t access to guns.

To those on the Left, shrieking for the government to make the pain stop by exerting more control — you celebrities, politicians, editors, and yes, you goodthinkful liberals that I know personally here in New York, many of whom I have called friends — I’ll say this:

While you were, over the last half-century, systematically destroying, displacing, denouncing, and dismantling the historic American nation and its civil society — all moral norms, every basis of public commonality, all respect for our history and heritage, public expression of religion, the nuclear family, sexual restraint, and every natural structure and category and hierarchy that held civilization together and gave young people a framework within which to learn dignity and duty and gratitude and belonging and meaning and self-control — while you were doing all that, what did you think was going to happen? And now you want to “fix” the moral and social wreckage you’ve created by disarming us against your future predations upon our rights, our culture, and upon the society we still hope, against hope, to restore and preserve?

Go to hell. This sickness is your fault, not ours.
If you want our guns, come and get them.

No matter how many bad cops there are, or soldiers, those numbers will never compare to the millions upon millions they'd have to brutally put down.

I remember an old Nazi German saying this on the British series, The World at War:

"The German Army in fighting Russia is like an elephant attacking a host of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants, but in the end their numbers will overcome him, and he will be eaten to the bone.
--Colonel Bernd Von Kielst

This would make CW I look like a love fest in comparison.

Abortion was only one part of the left’s two-pronged attack on the American population. In the quest to remake the face of America, the left began slaughtering America’s progeny, and then set about replacing the missing Americans with turd worlders who would happily vote democrat in exchange for a reliable government check. The current unwillingness to uphold immigration law is a direct result of abortion policy.

The article divides Americans between liberals and conservatives, and not by party.

?

Conservative RATs?

I don't think so.

“Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the 'good' of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

CS Lewis

THAT is why Liberals cannot and will not care if their actions bring about CWII... because they are simply being "Good" in their own delusional programming, and it does not matter how much destruction it rains down on the world, as long as they think they are being "Good People".

We’ve already had a preview of this scenario a few years back in, I believe, Connecticut. The state government there passed a law outlawing AR-15’s and directed citizens to turn them in. But to their astonishment only a few takers showed up as the people quietly rebelled and refused to do so. I’ve yet to see lawmakers there demand that law enforcement go door to door and confiscate even known weapons. Issue dropped.
