The US is on the brink of civil war and all of a sudden a horrible mass shooting occurs. Maybe they figure its time to pick up all the guns?
Who are “they” and by what means are all the guns to be picked up?
Not being snarky; during the campaign last year I googled every scenario I could think of for national confiscation of firearms.
Presidential EO, rammed-through legislation, Posse Commitatus overridden, Federalization of all LEO’s, call out the National Guard & police to go door-to-door, IRS persecution of anyone whose name is on a 4473, 1-800-SNITCH hotlines, etc.
Guess what? This isn’t Australia. There are too many checks & balances and protectors of their own turf for any systematic confiscation program. And 400 million estimated number of firearms in private hands doesn’t make it any easier.
If Bammie Kenyatta couldn’t make it happen with complete control of Congress 2009-2010, it’s not going to happen now. Liberals who said the victims deserved death for being Trump supporters are being let go. It’s not Hillary’s world any more. And she made a d@mn fool of herself today, too.
