You still imagine that heavy-handed moves by the government against individual citizens would go un-answered by the broad public. You forget that every person has an innate instinct for self (and group) preservation.
As long as a person can reasonably fight back when cornered, they’ll do so. It’s the law of the jungle.
The only way for things to play out as you’re postulating, is for the government to gradually, and ever so gently ease 200 million guns out of the hands of its citizens. It just ain’t gonna happen.
You have to stop looking at this from your personal view of how you’d react to wholesale gov’t gestapo tactics. Maybe you’d roll over, or run and hide. Most won’t. They’ll stand and fight.
I expected you'd get around to an ad hominem cheapshot. We're therefore done discussing this.
