I devoutly wish they would ACTUALLY try direct confiscation of firearms from Americans. I want to watch how far down the FIRST block a deputy or police officer gets in that attempted gun roundup.
Why would a law enforcement officer want to die trying to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens who have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms?
Most cops want to go home after a shift and not end up in a body bag.
There has never been a shortage of people who want to stick it to their fellow citizens in any tyranny, communist hell hole, etc. did the Milice back down from founding up and/or killing their fellow Frenchmen in WWII? No. Did the Kamer Rouge not kill thousands of their fellow citizens? They did. Did the Gestapo turn away from murdering millions. No. So don’t count on the police not to round up gun owners.
Covid showed that nobody was actually willing to take out the enforcers. If a few cops enforcing mandates and lockdowns would have been waxed, we would be a much better country.
