I’m totally prepared for this. I’ve marked out my safe space and posted “no guns” signs to keep the government at bay.
I’m a little more optimistic. I think Hillary and the unelected federal bureaucracy will continue to nibble away at the 2nd by outlawing certain ammo. Taxing ammo. Using the EPA to crack down on manufacturing and gun ranges. Use the IRS to shut down sellers. Outlawing civilian transfers of all firearms. Making CCWs harder to get, and outlawing more and more types of guns. It’s just boiling the frog until one day we emerge from our dens to find out that we no longer have any more Constitution or individual rights.
She’ll appoint a couple of liberal judges who want to legislate from the bench and they’ll rubber stamp her new executive orders.

This reminds me of what a few people (not me, certainly) suggested might be entertaining - many years ago: That when/if it became illegal to own certain firearms, that someone who owned (or used to own) such a weapon could take some fired shell casings from such weapon and spread them on the property of some local (or not local - depends on your taste) anti-gun zealot...and then anonymously call the police to report that you saw someone on the property with an “assault rifle” or whatever the unpopular/illegal gun of choice in that jurisdiction might be. Of course, in such a hypothetical circumstance, one would thoroughly wipe all fingerprints and biological materials from said fired shells, and place the call from an untraceable “burner” phone. Maybe being able to disguise one’s voice would be advantageous. All in theory, of course - remember, this was a discussion of what might be entertaining, someday and somewhere.
Variants on this included putting several different types of shells on the target property....223/5.56 mm, .308/7.62mm, 9mm, .45 ACP, .22 LR, etc., etc. - all for the purpose of making sure that the person was, umm, “well vetted” by the authorities. Oh, and calling the local news media (again, on a burner phone) to report the “unexpected police activity” was viewed as a real enhancement to the entertainment.
Potential targets for this hypothetical prank included local or state politicians (or federal ones, if available), judges, prosecutors, newspaper and TV reporters, influential people in the community, turncoats who had been pro-gun or who made a lot of money selling to the police, etc. - IOW, anybody who was notably and publicly for the abolition or “control” (i.e. abolition) of firearms in the hands of the general public. The basic idea was to increase the cost of being anti-gun and/or to punish those who had harmed the citizenry by their words and deeds. Oh, and as yet another enhancement of the entertainment value, a couple of people suggested that possibly some of the better-known targets, or the office-holding targets, might be too well guarded to do such a deed...which naturally led to someone (I don’t recall who, it was a LONG time ago) suggested that the adult children of such a person (if they had adult children) would be great alternative targets.
Again, this was all about entertainment - nobody who was discussing the idea (and I certainly don’t recall any of the internet names of those people, let alone their actual names) was actually calling for people to do this kind of thing...which, as anyone with any sense would know, would be a violation of the law. Nope, it was just entertainment, that’s all.
