ever somehow repealed the 2nd and demanded all guns be confiscated would the cops do it? Would the military do it? Or would they follow their oath of enlistment and tell them to go to hell?
Many would say just following orders.
To many.
Enough? I don’t know and I hope to never find out.
If actual fighting has not already started at confiscation time, that will start it. Some law enforcement and some military will support the confiscation some won’t. It will be bloody but Americans are a bloody people.
Opinion | Democrats Should Ditch the Anti-Gun Rhetoric If They Want to Survive 2022 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/11/16/democrats-gun-owners-522562 There are some 140 million gun owners in this country, and some 10 to 12 million of them purchased their first firearm in the past two years. But it’s not just the number of new gun owners that’s important. It’s who they are. Data show the biggest increases in gun purchases are among women and people of color — some of the very groups that Democrats have long relied on to form winning coalitions and who lately have shown signs of disenchantment with the party. Moreover, 48 percent of self-defined political independents own guns or live with someone who does. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/06/22/the-demographics-of-gun-ownership/That’s accounting for how many people will actually answer honestly when a pollster asks if someone owns any guns and that poll was 4 long years ago – before millions of new gun owners stepped up.
