On Morning Joe, pressed by Joe Scarborough as to what would happen if people refuse to surrender weapons such as AR-15s covered by his mandatory gun buyback plan, Beto O'Rourke admits that law enforcement would "visit" and "recover" the weapon.

Yeah, the first few confiscations will be (relatively) easy. Sure, some might resist, there might be gunfire, but these guys train for that and are ready for that. We can bluster and bravado all we want about molon labe, cold dead hands, taking a few with us, etc. etc. The reality is, in the end the citizen is going to lose those engagements. As others have said, once they are knocking down your door, you're done. Best bet is to go the legal route. When the insanity stops maybe you can sue them for millions and retire.
But once the raids start, things are going to get a lot more difficult and dangerous over the next few days and weeks for the people conducting the raids.
Are they going to set up a security perimeter hundreds of yards out from their raids? Set up counter snipers? Are they going to travel in armored convoys to/from their un-Constitutional confiscations?
Even worse - or more effective at stopping this un-Constitutional nonsense... Once word gets out that it is XYZ organization conducting the raids (be it local police, sheriff, etc.)...heck everyone knows where they live. Their neighbors all know who they are. These guys aren't dumb. They know there are lots armed people out there who would look at raids and confiscation as a triggering event.
How many times would a sheriff's deputy have to come home and find out someone had put a round into the quarter panel of his wife's car on the way home from picking up the kids from soccer practice? How many times would he want to wake up to flat tires on his car? A fake (water-filled) molotov cocktail tossed onto his porch? Sure, some would keep going, and it would end in bloodshed. Others would get the message right quick. The raids would stop due to "unavailability of resources" to continue them.
Without turning the US into cold war era East Germany there is no way they could enforce this long term. No way.

How do they know who has an AR15?
These morons all running for the Hildebeast slot know nothing about what they talk. "Assault Rifle" They just throw around terms they believe scares the voters listening to just such nonsense. Go away and stop using up scarce resources.

I don’t know how you do it day after day.
Methinks politicians think they are ten feet tall and bullet proof.
There is can old adage that if it bleeds you can kill it.

There’s ways of dealing with such things while not waiting at your house for them to show up.
Never underestimate the creativity of people, Bob, especially Americans who have been made into criminals by tyrants.

This is called desperation. He probably believed his own press, which had him on the cover of Vanity Fair months back. Now, he is a silly soon to be drop-out.

How do they know who has an AR15?Firstly, they would confiscate all the records of FFLs and then they would know.

law enforcement would visit and recover AR-15s if people dont comply with his proposed confiscation law. Should the firearms owner leave milk and cookies as for a visit from Santa? So many homes to enter.

If Bobby sends LE and they actually listen to him, their doom and his.

Bobby being a felon means the republicans can impeach him as soon as he takes office.

"Hes polling in the very low single digits. Go away." Go away" is probably good advice.. I wouldn't think his chances of being elected to any office in Texas is nil.. Maybe he should move to Colorado..
