I envision it happening regionally. One group of courageous LEO taking a stand to not enforce a confiscation law, the national guard being sent in to enforce “civility” and they also refusing to enforce the law.

Plenty of older folks will decide it’s just not in them to go guerrilla. They’ll draw the line right at their front door, and more power to them if they take out plenty of the bastards.
Others might go another way.
