No, they don’t need to get rid of guns, all they have to do is pass laws to make their use illegal and thus virtually unusable, even in self-defense.

Then, like in other countries, guns will slowly go away as their utility, risk, and cost to honest people will gradually make it ‘not worth it’.

And then, with relatively few people owning guns, they can come in for the ‘final solution’ and go door-to-door with dogs, if they need to. And don’t worry, they’ll already know who the ‘resisters’ will be and they’ll have them easily outgunned.

As to the Second Amendment - it may still be there, but Leftist judges have made it PERFECTLY CLEAR that it is meaningless to them...so if they get their majority on the bench it is as good as gone. The Second Amendment only helps when conservatives rule the bench, it has no meaning to liberals...just doesn’t exist.

BOTTOM LINE - people need to think VERY HARD before agreeing to any restrictions on guns as that only pushes us that much closer to the point of confiscation being possible.

And yes, it’s hard to win. BUT it’s easy to make it a day they remember bitterly with much loss.

BobL, your post on this thread and others have been rational, thoughtful, and excellent.
People like to write about “big shootouts” with evil socialist gungrabbers...yet we agree that is NOT how confiscation would happen.

They will make mere possession in your own home (even with no other crime) punishable by a mandatory 10-year prison sentence.
While no biggie to gangbangers...that would be a nightmare to suburban gunowners with families, friends, homes, and terrific well-paid jobs.

You can bet a million dollars that any of the “initial holdouts” will be overwhelmingly raided if they don’t acknowledge the confiscation.
They will be “reported” to be in possession of meth, child porn, anthrax, nuclear bombs, embezzled money, and with comprehensive plans to assassinate every living POTUS, congressman, Lady Gaga, the Tooth Fairy, and even Santa Claus.

A retraction of the initial report would be printed a month later, in the classifieds section, in Section D, page 47 of the newspaper. We simply must “keep up the fight” by keeping good and patriotic Americans voting on our side.
