I believe this was done twice. Once, in 1775, the Brits tried to seize the armory and got shot up.
The second was at Faneuil Hall Boston, the Brits then seized the arms and refused to return them.

Following the first shots of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, on April 27, the military governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America, General Thomas Gage, ordered all firearms owned by the Boston citizenry stored in Faneuil Hall.
On April 27, 1778 fire arms, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets and 38 blunderbusses were received, properly labeled with the names of the owners, and sorted for storage at Faneuil Hall. Gage promised the weapons would be returned to their owners at a suitable time.
Gage feared an attack on Boston was imminent and feared the civilian populace would join in the resistance, confronting him with an inner and outer enemy.
I just tell them to “go to H3ll!” ‘Nuff said.
What makes you think any place else wants them. The only use the rest of the world has for them is to undermine the USA.

Hmmm... smells like a poll tax!

What part about "keep and bear arms" is too difficult for liberals to understand?

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalins thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If...if...We didnt love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Yeah, what part of “shall not be inringec upon” do they not understand?

AMEN
Yeah and guess who will determine if you are mentally stable enough o own a gun? Yes you guessed the government doctors under Obamacare’s thumb. Can people not see the writing on the wall and where this is headed if the naive libtards get their way. They may have to learn this lesson the hard way. Seeing plenty of libtards suffering from their own stupid choices would be priceless. Like they think 0bama really gives a $hit about them.
They make better pets if you get them fixed.
How about a mental health background check on legislators?
Seems like some really goofy SOBs have gotten elected lately.
“They make better pets if you get them fixed.”
LOL!
Always good to hear from you, Farmer Dean.
Sounds likes great place to store socialist gun grabbers instead.
