I have heard democrats who have said this exact thing in private and they are IN elected office and staffers all over DC believe this.

To revoke Americans' right to keep and bear arms would require two things:

1) Amending the Constitution to negate the Second Amendment;
2) Rivers of blood collecting the guns from people who have no intention of giving them up whether they're "legal" or not.

The 2nd Amendment is in force, whether any government recognizes it or not. In fact, it applies to the entire world.

God-given rights are what they are, and any entity that tries to negate them is evil.

I keep telling people that with tens of thousands of “Peace” officers and over 100 million gun owners, only a few of those would have to fight back to overwhelm the “Peace” officers.

There might be 90 million “registered” gun owners, nut I know there are a whole lot of unregistered who would take part in the barrel shoot.
