The Supreme Court should have a fun time trying to gather up 300 million firearms if they decide the 2nd Amendment is “unconstitutional”.
I guess they would send their clerks out door to door?
I suppose the question would then become, “Who’s the first target?”.
I wonder if they really, truly believe that people won’t fight back? Or, that whatever force they brought to bear would be enough to enforce their ruling.
What if they rely on ‘citizen informers’ to tell them where people’s firearms are?
The goal is not to gather up all the guns. It's to make criminals out of gun owners who refuse to comply.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there it that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”---Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
