I live in small town America.....northern New England.
Everybody knows police officers, sheriff deputies, state troopers....and most people, myself included, know where many of these cops live. And nearly every home in these parts has multiple firearms.
When vast numbers of people are armed and angry, it’s not easy for them to be “crushed.”
I happen to live in a small town in Northern New England, too.
There are only a handful of towns and counties that are not in the hands of the DemonRAT-communists. The town offices, state legislatures and governors offices and congressional delegations of all the New England states are occupied by communists or communist sympathizers (a couple of RINOs).
The state and local police are dominated by the Unions (DemonRAT-communists). Even if they disagree with orders to disarm you, they will attempt to do so if so ordered, with very few exceptions. You can count on it.
You have to go north of Augusta to find any true constitutionalists in greater proportions than communists. And the communists still run the towns and counties through the unions.
I can’t predict with certainly how it will go, but I surmise that with few exceptions, most gun owners will comply with whatever regulations the commies make for them.

If I were a really smart Sheriff when the order came to confiscate guns, instead of taking the guns they would go door to door deputizing EVERYONE WITH A GUN!
That can work both ways. In my rural county there are deputies who are useless and some that are bad. There are long term hatreds here and there. When the SHTF they may unite, but I wouldn't count on it.
