Taking property from citizens who have done no wrong would make the Constitution null and void. It would break the covenant of "governing by the consent of the governed". At that point, all bets are off. Its one thing to have federal authorities go after a "lone wolf" like Randy Weaver, its quite something else to set up raids on (potentially) millions of homes across the nation. Even the stupid, f'ing ACLU would have real fits over that, although at present they won't admit it.

Some will comply, and others will resist through civil disobedience; I think more than a few will resist by other means - and that could get messy. The big question is what will the bulk of law enforcement and the military do?

The US SC has pretty well defined the 2nd and applied it to the states through the 14th Amendment. There are more than a few courts that would issue injunctions against confiscation.

Total gun confiscation in the US will not be attempted - at least by anyone who is sane.

“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 Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

See, there's your problem. They aren't merely insane. They are also evil. Monstrously so. There will be only one way to stop them.

Obongo and his ilk are NOT sane. They intend to provoke a civil war so he can unleash DHS and the other FedGov thugs to murder Americans. To answer Claire Wolfe's question, it is too late. Votes will be done by other means.

That has happened many times over the years. It happened the very first time that the government made laws about the restriction of ownership, background checks and registration of weapons. There has been no uprising. Why would there be an uprising if the government enacts more gun legislation?
