The next thing youll get from the government is an official looking notice that they think you still have a firearm. Their information will probably include all the information from registration forms, right down to the serial number. That notice will tell you that youre in violation of the law, subject to prosecution and imprisonment. It will give you some period of time to surrender the gun. It will also give you a very limited number of days to return the form with an explanation of why you dont have the gun, any proof you have,...What proof do I need? I tell them I sold them all years ago when it was legal to sell privately with no forms or checks. I don't think many judges will issue warrants based on "we think he's lying." It would only take a few cases of warrants issued, nothing found to slap the judges signing them in the face real hard. How hard would it be to sucker them into searching some homes with no guns in them?

Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine?
Get real. Lots of criminals have weapons that are illegal for them to have in places where guns are banned. Cops aren't doing your scenario on them.
Because it's dangerous for the cops.

I can see this happening, if we didn’t have a Second Amendment and many people willing to fight confiscation laws, and every step leading up to it, in the courts.

The author is from California; probably a liberal pretending to be conservative so he could post on the pro-gun website to push fear mongering and anti-gun propaganda

Get a suitable sized piece of oil-resistant PVC pipe. Put a couple of your pieces in it for long term storage. If it is the time to bury it, more than likely it is the time to use it...

If there isn’t a revolution BEFORE that point then any idiot who hasn’t fled the country with his family will deserve that fate.

Here’s one way they confiscate: by having registration and background checks in place and a complicit media who prints the names of gun owners, it just became counterproductive to own registered guns.

I’m not sure if “deserve” is too strong a word but they would still be mighty stupid to stay.

Nothing will go through Congress or the White House. Instead all these totalitarian regulatory agencies will fire up and make rules and come for guns.

Don’t assume LEOs will confiscate your guns without compunction. Many LEOs will probably be on your side and refuse to confiscate them. In fact they may turn on their masters...: )

And use it against those who passed the laws and those who declared them constitutional.

Easy. Break into your home when you are at work or away on holiday. Then rip our every board until they find them.Oops! They were all at a friend's house. Now I sue them into oblivion for property damage, emotional trauma and file against the judge for issuing a warrant without good cause. Rinse and repeat X100.

Taking property from citizens who have done no wrong would make the Constitution null and void. It would break the covenant of "governing by the consent of the governed". At that point, all bets are off. Its one thing to have federal authorities go after a "lone wolf" like Randy Weaver, its quite something else to set up raids on (potentially) millions of homes across the nation. Even the stupid, f'ing ACLU would have real fits over that, although at present they won't admit it.
Some will comply, and others will resist through civil disobedience; I think more than a few will resist by other means - and that could get messy. The big question is what will the bulk of law enforcement and the military do?
The US SC has pretty well defined the 2nd and applied it to the states through the 14th Amendment. There are more than a few courts that would issue injunctions against confiscation.
Total gun confiscation in the US will not be attempted - at least by anyone who is sane.
